IC 4537 is a type S0-a[1] lenticular galaxy located in the Serpens constellation.[2] It is located 736 million light-years from the Solar System[3] and was found by astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard[4] although the year of discovery was unknown. IC 4537 has a surface brightness of magnitude 23.9 and a right ascension of (15 hours: 17.5 minutes) and declination (+0.2 degrees : 02 minutes).[5] IC 4537 is apparently located a few miles away from the globular cluster, Messier 5.[6]
