| 752-6-410-978-87 | 204.97,0.84 | NED | SDSS |
ARP 240, an interacting pair of galaxies. Note, how
the galaxies distorted each other.
|
| 756-1-589-1246-145 | 204.061,-1.04 | NED | SDSS |
Another pair of galaxies, undergoing a violent interaction. The brighter
object is UGC 08584. This system has also been observed in the infrared,
by the IRAS satellite, and has been classified as a triplet.
|
| 94-3-372-830-930 | 30.551,-0.101 | NED | SDSS |
Two spiral galaxies, NGC 799, and NGC 800. The two
galaxies are very close to one another even in redshift.
|
| 125-6-196-782-1232 | 18.232,0.981 | NED | SDSS |
NGC 428, a spectacularly blue nearby spiral galaxy. The blue color
is an indication of very active star formation in this galaxy.
|
| 1336-4-50-291-693 | 258.287,59.327 | NED | SDSS |
UGC 10770, a young spiral galaxy, just undergoing a collision. This
object is mentioned in many catalogs of interacting galaxies (ARP, etc).
|
| 94-4-99-1220-253 | 349.736,0.244 | NED | SDSS |
NGC 7603/ PGC 07041, an interacting pair. Notice the bridge between the
two galaxies. The bigger object, NGC 7603, is a well-known Seyfert galaxy.
These are known for their very small and bright core.
|
| 125-3-285-966-1098 | 31.566,-0.292 | NED | SDSS |
UGC 1597, a Seyfert type galaxy with an active nucleus. Notice the disturbed
appearance of the galaxy. This object may be the remnant of a
collision between two galaxies. As a by-product ofthe collision,
gas from one galaxy is being dumped onto a black hole at the center of the
other galaxy, giving rise to the nuclear activity.
|
| 94-4-533-590-1368 | 54.622,0.366 | NED | SDSS |
The faint reddish object is a quasar at redshift z=5.0.
Quasars are the most luminous objects in the Universe. They consist
of a giant black hole in the center of a host galaxy. This object was
the first to exceed the magic distance threshold of z=5.0.
