UGC 4879, which is also known as VV 124, is the most isolated dwarf galaxy in the periphery of the Local Group.

Low-resolution spectroscopy yielded inconsistent radial velocities for different components of the galaxy, hinting at the presence of a stellar disk.

UGC 4879 is a transition type galaxy, meaning it has no rings (Denoted rs).

It is also a spheroidal (dSph) galaxy, meaning it has a low luminosity.

It has little to no gas or dust, and little recent star formation.
