NGC 4527 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 23 February 1784.[2]

NGC 4527 is a member of the M61 Group of galaxies, which is a member of the Virgo II Groups, a series of galaxies and galaxy clusters strung out from the southern edge of the Virgo Supercluster.[3]

Characteristics

[edit]

NGC 4527 is an intermediate spiral galaxy[4] and is located at a distance not well determined, but usually is considered to be an outlying member of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies,[5] being placed within the subcluster known as S Cloud.[6]

NGC 4527 is also a starburst galaxy, with 2.5 billion solar masses of molecular hydrogen concentrated within its innermost regions.[7] However, this starburst is still weak and seems to be on its earliest phases.[7]

Supernovae

[edit]

Three supernovae have been observed in NGC 4527:

  • SN 1915A (type unknown, mag. 15.5) was discovered by Heber Curtis on 20 March 1915.[8][9][10]
  • SN 1991T (Type Ia-pec, mag. 13) was discovered by Stephen Knight on 13 April 1991, and independently reported by Robert Evans, Mirko Villi, Giancarlo Cortini, and Wayne Johnson.[11][12] This supernova has been studied extensively as a peculiar and overluminous Type Ia, and is now used as a template, with similar events being classified as Type Ia-91T-like.[13][14]
  • SN 2004gn (Type Ic, mag. 16.6) was discovered by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) on 1 December 2004.[15][16][17]
