NGC 4450


NGC 4450 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices.

Characteristics

NGC 4450 is a member of the Virgo Cluster that, like Messier 90, shows smooth, nearly featureless spiral arms, with few star formation H [II region|regions] and little neutral hydrogen compared to other similar spiral galaxies, something that justifies its classification as an anemic galaxy.
Measurements with the help of the Hubble [Space Telescope] show the center of this galaxy has a supermassive [black hole].
