Galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices
NGC 4495 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Coma Berenices . Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 4850 ± 20 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 233.3 ± 16.4 Mly (71.54 ± 5.02 Mpc ).[ 1] Additionally, 31 non-redshift measurements give a distance of 223.50 ± 3.58 Mly (68.526 ± 1.099 Mpc).[ 2] It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 13 March 1785.[ 3]
According to the SIMBAD database, NGC 4495 is a LINER galaxy, i.e. a galaxy whose nucleus has an emission spectrum characterized by broad lines of weakly ionized atoms.[ 4]
