NGC 3435 is a barred spiral galaxy located about 235 million light-years from the Milky Way, and is about 125 000 light-years across. It can be found in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered on 9 April 1793 by astronomer William Herschel.[1]
The galaxy has the surface brightness equal to 14.04 mag/Minute and second of arcam², which classifiers it as low surface brightness galaxy (LSB).[2]
On 29 March 1999, in the galaxy was observed the type Ia supernova, designated as SN 1999bh.[3] It was discovered by W. Li, as part of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) program by the Lick Observatory.[4][5]
