NGC 4307

NGC 4307 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located about 65 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by astronomer Christian Peters in 1881 and is a member of the Virgo Cluster. 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.

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