Spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo
NGC 4307 is an edge-on
spiral galaxy located about 65 million
light-years away
[2] in the constellation
Virgo . It was discovered by astronomer
Christian Peters in 1881
[3] and is a member of the
Virgo Cluster .
[4]
[5]
[6] It is also a
LINER galaxy.

On March 7, 2019 a
supernova of an unknown type known as AT 2019bpt was discovered in NGC 4307.

H I deficiency
NGC 4307 exhibits a deficiency in
neutral hydrogen gas (H I) and contains a truncated gas disk.
[12] This suggests it has undergone
ram-pressure stripping .
