NGC 4262 is a galaxy located in the constellation of Coma Berenices. == Characteristics == NGC 4262 is a small and compact barred lenticular galaxy with a high surface brightness central bar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) )〕 It is a member of the Virgo Cluster at a distance from the Milky Way of around 50 million light-years. It is also notable for its abundance of neutral hydrogen for a lenticular galaxy, most of it located on a ring tilted with respect to NGC 4262's galactic plane. Studies with help of the GALEX telescope have found within that ring several clusters of young stars that can be seen on ultraviolet images. The aforementioned ring is believed to have its origin in NGC 4262 stripping some gas of another galaxy in a close passage, likely its neighbor the spiral Messier 99 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「NGC 4262」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
