NGC 4727 is a large barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Corvus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background for is 7,830±23 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 376.7 ± 26.4 Mly (115.49 ± 8.09 Mpc).[1] It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 8 February 1785.[2] It was also observed by Lewis Swift on 27 April 1887, causing it to be listed twice in the New General Catalogue, as NGC 4727 and as NGC 4740.[2]
NGC 4727 and NGC 4724 are listed together as Holm 470 in Erik Holmberg's A Study of Double and Multiple Galaxies Together with Inquiries into some General Metagalactic Problems, published in 1937.[3]
Supernovae
[edit]Two supernovae have been observed in NGC 4727:
- SN 1965B (type unknown, mag. 16) was discovered by Enrique Chavira on 8 January 1965.[4][5]
- SN 2003eg (Type II, mag. 15.8) was discovered by LOTOSS (Lick Observatory and Tenagra Observatory Supernova Searches) on 17 May 2003.[6][7]
