NGC 3937 is an elliptical[3][4] or a lenticular galaxy[5][3][4] located about 310 million light-years away[5] in the constellation Leo. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 27, 1785[6] and is classified as a radio galaxy.[3][7]
NGC 3937 Group
NGC 3937 is the brightest[8] member of the NGC 3937 Group, which is part of the Coma Supercluster.[9][10][11][12] The group has a velocity dispersion of 306 km/s. Other members of the group are NGC 3910, NGC 3929, NGC 3940, NGC 3943, NGC 3947, NGC 3954, with NGC 3919 having an uncertain membership.[9]
