NGC 4301
NGC 4301 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1,631±24 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 78.5 ± 5.6 Mly (24.06 ± 1.72 Mpc). It was discovered by Irish engineer Bindon Blood Stoney on 21 April 1851. It is a member of the Virgo Cluster, listed as VCC 552.
NGC 4301 and Messier 61 are listed together as Holm 379 in Erik Holmberg's A Study of Double and Multiple Galaxies Together with Inquiries into some General Metagalactic Problems, published in 1937. NGC 4301 is often referred to as NGC 4303A due to its proximity to NGC 4303 (another name for Messier 61) and a prolonged history of misidentification.
