NGC 3613
NGC 3613 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel on April 8, 1793. NGC 3613 is the center of a cluster of galaxies, and has an estimated globular cluster population of over 2,000.
In 2011, SN 2011eh, a type Ia supernova with a peculiar spectrum, was detected within NGC 3613.
