NGC 4313 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located about 50 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 15, 1784.[3] NGC 4313 is a member of the Virgo Cluster[4][5] and is classified as LINER[2][6] and as a Seyfert galaxy.[6]

NGC 4313 has undergone ram-pressure stripping in the past.[7]

Black Hole

NGC 4313 may harbor an intermediate-mass black hole with an estimated mass of 200,000 (2*10^5) solar masses.[8]
