NGC 4030 is a grand design spiral galaxy[5] located about 64[3] million light years away in the constellation Virgo. It is a member of the NGC 4030 Group of galaxies, which is a member of the Virgo II Groups, a series of galaxies and galaxy clusters strung out from the southern edge of the Virgo Supercluster.[6] With an apparent visual magnitude of 10.6, it is visible with a small telescope as a 3 arc minute wide feature about 4.75° to the southeast of the star Beta Virginis.[4] It is inclined by an angle of 47.1°[3] to the line of sight from the Earth and is receding at a velocity of 1,465 km/s.[3]
The morphological classification of NGC 4030 in the De Vaucouleurs system is SA(s)bc,[3] which indicates a spiral structure (SA) with no bar (s) and moderate to loosely wound arms (bc).[7] The inner part of the galaxy shows a complex structure with multiple spiral arms, which becomes a symmetric, double arm pattern beyond 49″ from the core.[5] The central bulge is relatively young with an estimated age of two billion years,[8] while the nucleus is inactive.[9]
In 2007, a supernova explosion was discovered in the galaxy from images taken on February 19 from the 1 m Swope telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. Designated SN 2007aa, it was a type IIP[10] supernova positioned 68″.5 north and 60″.8 east of the galactic nucleus.[11] The progenitor was a red giant star with 8.5–16.5 times the mass of the Sun.[10]
