Coma Berenices

Coma Berenices is an ancient asterism in the northern sky, which has been defined as one of the 88 modern constellations.

See NGC 4053 and Coma Berenices

Constellation

A constellation is an area on the celestial sphere in which a group of visible stars forms a perceived pattern or outline, typically representing an animal, mythological subject, or inanimate object.

See NGC 4053 and Constellation

Epoch (astronomy)

In astronomy, an epoch or reference epoch is a moment in time used as a reference point for some time-varying astronomical quantity.

Heinrich Louis d'Arrest

Heinrich Louis d'Arrest (13 August 1822 – 14 June 1875) was a German astronomer, born in Berlin.

Lenticular galaxy

A lenticular galaxy (denoted S0) is a type of galaxy intermediate between an elliptical (denoted E) and a spiral galaxy in galaxy morphological classification schemes. NGC 4053 and lenticular galaxy are lenticular galaxies.

Light-year

A light-year, alternatively spelled light year (ly or lyr), is a unit of length used to express astronomical distances and is equal to exactly 9,460,730,472,580.8 km (Scientific notation: 9.4607304725808 × 1012 km), which is approximately 5.88 trillion mi.

List of NGC objects (4001–5000)

This is a list of NGC objects 4001–5000 from the New General Catalogue (NGC). NGC 4053 and list of NGC objects (4001–5000) are NGC objects.

See NGC 4053 and List of NGC objects (4001–5000)

Low-ionization nuclear emission-line region

A low-ionization nuclear emission-line region (LINER) is a type of galactic nucleus that is defined by its spectral line emission. NGC 4053 and low-ionization nuclear emission-line region are LINER galaxies.

New General Catalogue

The New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (abbreviated NGC) is an astronomical catalogue of deep-sky objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888. NGC 4053 and New General Catalogue are NGC objects.

See NGC 4053 and New General Catalogue

NGC 4065 Group

The NGC 4065 Group is a group of galaxies located about in the constellation Coma Berenices. NGC 4053 and NGC 4065 Group are coma Berenices.

See NGC 4053 and NGC 4065 Group

Sloan Digital Sky Survey

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey or SDSS is a major multi-spectral imaging and spectroscopic redshift survey using a dedicated 2.5-m wide-angle optical telescope at Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico, United States.
