NGC 4076 is a spiral galaxy located 290 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Coma Berenices.[3] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 27, 1785[4] and is a member of the NGC 4065 Group.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

NGC 4076 is classified as a LINER galaxy.[13][14]

NGC 4076 has been host to two type Ia supernovae.[15][16] The first, SN 2007M was first observed on December 24, 2006.[15][17][18] However, it was discovered on January 14, 2007.[18][19][20] The second, SN 2011bc was discovered on April 1, 2011.[15][21][22][23]
