NGC 4527 is a galaxy in the constellation Virgo.
Characteristics
NGC 4527 is an intermediate spiral galaxy similar to the Andromeda Galaxy[2] and is located at a distance not well determined, but usually is considered to be an outlying member of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies,[3] being placed within the subcluster known as S Cloud.[4]
Unlike the Andromeda Galaxy, NGC 4527 is also a starburst galaxy, with 2.5 billion solar masses of molecular hydrogen concentrated within its innermost regions.[5] However said starburst is still weak and seems to be on its earliest phases.[5]
