NGC 4318 is a small lenticular galaxy[3] located about 72 million light-years away[5] in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on January 18, 1828.[6] NGC 4318 is a member of the Virgo W′ group,[2][7][8][9] a group of galaxies in the background of the Virgo Cluster[2] that is centered on the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4365.[9]

Physical characteristics

NGC 4318 contains a small,[3] classical bulge[10] and a nuclear stellar disc with a diameter of ~230 ly (70 pc).[11] Outside the nuclear stellar disc lies a sharply bounded, low surface brightness region with a diameter of ~1,800 ly (560 pc) beyond which lies a larger outer disk.[3][12]

Black Hole

NGC 4318 harbors a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 4 million (5×106 M☉) solar masses.[13][14][15]

Globular clusters

NGC 4318 is surrounded by 18 globular clusters.[16][17]
