NGC 4365 is the central galaxy of W' cloud, a cloud of galaxies about 6 megaparsecs behind (further from us than) the Virgo supercluster.[9] NGC 4365 has a kinematically distinct, counter-rotating stellar core region, which provides strong evidence for the theory that elliptical galaxies grow through mergers.[10] The mean age of its stellar population is greater than 12 billion years, and it retains a triaxial structure that has remained largely unchanged for 12 billion years. Because supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies tend to scatter stars into chaotic new orbits, the longevity of NGC 4365's triaxial structure and kinematically distinct stellar populations indicates that it cannot have a supermassive black hole with a mass greater than 3×109 M☉.[11]

There is a stream of globular clusters connecting NGC 4365 to the neighboring compact S0 galaxy NGC 4342. It appears that NGC 4365 is stripping globular clusters and stars from its neighbor via tidal interaction.[9]

NGC 4365 ist eine elliptische Galaxie vom Hubble-Typ E3 im Sternbild Jungfrau auf der Ekliptik. Sie ist schätzungsweise 52 Millionen Lichtjahre von der Milchstraße entfernt und hat einen Durchmesser von etwa 110.000 Lj. Unter der Bezeichnung VCC 731 gilt sie als Mitglied des Virgo-Galaxienhaufens. Im gleichen Himmelsareal befinden sich u. a. die Galaxien NGC 4341, NGC 4342, IC 3259, IC 3267 und PGC 40338.

NGC 4365 es una galaxia elíptica gigante situada en la constelación de Virgo a una distancia de 60 millones de años luz[2] al alcance de telescopios de aficionado. Es un miembro del Cúmulo de Virgo, situado en la periferia de éste[3] y perteneciendo al subgrupo Virgo B.[4] (el mismo al que quizás pertenezca M49, la galaxia más brillante del cúmulo).
