This page shows you the observed spectral profile of the central part of NGC4051.
The profile shows emission line of the ionized oxygen atoms (O-III lines) besides the Balmer series from Hα to Hγ.
A table in right has listed and indicated estimated distance to the galaxy from observed wavelengths.
The value can be calculated as about 26 million light years under an assumption that the Hubble constant of H0 has 70 km/s/Mpc.
