Structure
NGC 4570 has a nuclear disc that extends to a radius of about ~. In between there is a gap that separates the outer edge of the nuclear disk and the inner edge of the main disk by about ~. This multi-disc structure may have been shaped through secular evolution induced by a small nuclear bar. == Globular Clusters ==
