IC 3528 is a Seyfert 1.5 type[1] spiral galaxy with X-ray emission[2] located 660 million light-years[3] away in the constellation of Coma Berenices.[4] It lies near to spiral galaxy NGC 4540, although the two of them are quite far.[5] The object was discovered by Royal Harwood Frost on May 7, 1904.[6] Although listed as a member in the Virgo Cluster Catalogue[7] as VCC 1593, it is not a member of the Virgo cluster but a background galaxy.[8]
SN 2001Z, a Type II supernova was discovered in IC 3528.[9] It was located 0".5 west and 11".2 north of the nucleus.[10]
