NGC 4559 (also known as Caldwell 36) is an intermediate spiral galaxy with a weak inner ring structure in the constellation Coma Berenices. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1,096±20 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 52.7 ± 3.8 Mly (16.17 ± 1.17 Mpc).[1] However, 26 non-redshift measurements give a much closer distance of 24.56 ± 1.58 Mly (7.530 ± 0.483 Mpc).[2] It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 11 April 1785.[3][4]

NGC 4559 is a member of the Coma I Group.[5][6]

Supernova

[edit]

One supernova has been recorded in NGC 4559: SN 1941A (Type II-L, mag. 13.2) was discovered by Rebecca Jones on 24 February 1941, and after checking previous photographs of the galaxy, it was determined that the supernova was visible starting 5 February 1941.[7][8]

Luminous Blue Variable

[edit]

NGC 4559 is home to the luminous blue variable AT 2016blu (also known as PSN J12355230+2755559, or as NGC 4559OT). It was discovered by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) on 11 January 2012.[9][10] It experiences repeated supernova-like outbursts: first when discovered, then again in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026.[11][12]
