Arp 60, also known as LEDA 1762846, is a barred spiral galaxy [1] located in Coma Berenices. [2] [3] It is located 958 million light-years from the Solar System [4] and has an approximate diameter of 95,000 light-years. [2]

Companion galaxy

Arp 60 has one companion galaxy which is located east: SDSS J131446.02+260629.8 known as PGC 4538493. [5] The galaxy is located 979 million light-years away and as such makes a galaxy pair with Arp 60. [6] Together, they are part of the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies which was created by Halton Arp. [7] [8] In this category, they fall under the classification of Spiral Galaxies with Small, high surface brightness companions. [9]
