NGC 4660 forms a tight pair with Messier 59.[7]

Tidal filament

A long tidal filament was detected associated with NGC 4660. This appears to indicate a past gravitational interaction with another galaxy. The progenitor galaxy that may have produced the filament associated with NGC 4660 was a gas-rich spiral. Alternatively, the detection of tidal dwarf galaxies[6] (TDGs) which are “recycled” low-mass galaxies formed from interactions or mergers[8] suggest that the filament originated from a possible satellite galaxy that got stripped during its closest approach in its orbit to NGC 4660. This would make the filament a tidal stream comparable to the stream associated with the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy of the Milky Way.[6]

Supermassive Black Hole

NGC 4660 may have a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 800 million suns ({{Val|8|e=8}} M☉).[9]
