NGC 4651 imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope

NGC 4651 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Coma Berenices that can be seen with amateur telescopes, at a distance not well determined that ranges from 35 million light years^[2] to 72 million light years.^[3] It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 30 December 1783.^[4]

Features

This member of the Virgo Cluster, located on its outskirts,^[5] is known as the Umbrella Galaxy due to the umbrella-shaped structure that extends from its disk to the east and that is composed of stellar streams, being the remnants of a much smaller galaxy that has been torn apart by NGC 4651's tidal forces,^[2]^[6] something that explains why NGC 4651 has been included on Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as Arp 189 -galaxy with filaments-.

Studies using radiotelescopes of the distribution of its neutral hydrogen show distortions on NGC 4651's outer regions and a gas clump associated with a dwarf galaxy that may have born in the event that produced the mentioned stellar streams.^[7]

Unlike most spiral galaxies of the Virgo Cluster, NGC 4651 is rich in neutral hydrogen, also extending beyond the optical disk,^[7] and its star formation is typical for a galaxy of its type.^[5]

Supernovae

Two supernovae have been observed in NGC 4651:

SN 1987K (type II, mag. 15) was discovered by Carlton Pennypacker on 28 July 1987.^[8]^[9]
SN 2006my (type II, mag. 15.3) was discovered by Kōichi Itagaki on 8 November 2006.^[10]^[11]
