NGC 4450 is classified as SaB with a surface brightness of magnitude 130.  Red shift distance is 87 Mly.  NGC 4450 is a LINER galaxy (low-ionization nuclear emission line region).  The irregular dust spirals are probably the result of acoustic turbulence in the inner gas disks ( Elmegreen, et.al., 2002).
