NGC 4541
NGC 4541 is an intermediate [spiral galaxy] in the constellation of Virgo. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic [microwave background] is, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of. However, eight non-redshift measurements give a closer mean distance of. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 1 January 1786.
NGC 4541 is a Seyfert II galaxy, i.e. it has a quasar-like nucleus with very high surface brightnesses whose spectra reveal strong, high-ionisation emission lines, but unlike quasars, the host galaxy is clearly detectable. NGC 4541 is also a radio galaxy, i.e. it has giant regions of radio emission extending well beyond its visible structure.
