IC 4698 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Centaurus. It is approximately 50 million light-years away from Earth and is part of the Centaurus group of galaxies. The galaxy is notable for its bright core and well-defined spiral arms, which are characteristic features of barred spiral galaxies. Discovered by the astronomer John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1895, IC 4698 is classified as a type SBc galaxy. Its structure and composition provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies in the universe. Observations of IC 4698 contribute to our understanding of galactic dynamics and star formation processes.
