NGC 4061 is an elliptical galaxy located 310 light-years away[2] in the constellation Coma Berenices.

[15][9] NGC 4061 is classified as a radio galaxy[7][15][9][16][17][18][11][19] with a Fanaroff and Riley classification of type I.

This morphology is thought to be due to the motion of NGC 4061 through the ICM with sufficient velocity to bend the jets by ram-pressure stripping.

[22][23] On February 18, 2008 a type Ia supernova designated as SN 2008bf was discovered in NGC 4061.

[24][25][26][27] However, the Open Supernova Catalog suggests that the host galaxy may be the nearby NGC 4065.
