Dwarf barred lenticular galaxy in the constellation Virgo
NGC 4306 is a dwarf [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] barred lenticular galaxy located about 100 million light-years away[ 5] in the constellation Virgo . The galaxy was discovered by astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest on April 16, 1865.[ 6] Although considered to be a member of the Virgo Cluster ,[ 4] [ 7] its high radial velocity and similar distance as NGC 4305 suggest that NGC 4306 is a background galaxy.[ 8] NGC 4306 is a companion of NGC 4305 [ 8] and appears to be interacting with it.[ 9] [ 10]
