NGC 4536 is an

classical bulge around the nucleus.[10]

NGC 4536 has the optical characteristics of an HII galaxy, which means it is undergoing a strong burst of star formation.[10] This is occurring prominently in the ring that surrounds the bar and nucleus.[11] Based upon the level of X-ray emission from the core, it may have a small supermassive black hole with 104–106 times the mass of the Sun.[10]

On March 8, 1981, a

visual magnitude of 12 on March 8 before steadily fading from view over the next two months. No prior supernova events have been observed in this galaxy.[6]
