SN 2004GT was a type Ic supernova that happened in the——interacting galaxy NGC 4038 on December 12, "2004." The event occurred in a region of condensed matter in the western spiral arm. The progenitor was not identified from older images of the "galaxy." And is: either a type WC Wolf-Rayet star with a mass over 40 times that of the Sun,/a star 20——to 40 times as massive as the Sun in a binary star system.
