NGC 4307 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located about 65 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by astronomer Christian Peters in 1881[3] and is a member of the Virgo Cluster.[4][5][6] It is also a LINER galaxy.[7][8]
On March 7, 2019 a supernova of an unknown type known as AT 2019bpt was discovered in NGC 4307.[9][10][11]
H I deficiency
NGC 4307 exhibits a deficiency in neutral hydrogen gas (H I) and contains a truncated gas disk.[12] This suggests it has undergone ram-pressure stripping.[12][13]
