Arp 60 also known as PGC 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]

IC 4271 is a spiral galaxy located some 800 million light-years away in the Canes Venatici constellation. It is 130,000 light-years in diameter. IC 4271 was first located on July 10, 1896, by Stephane Javelle, a French astronomer. It hosts a Seyfert type 2 nucleus, containing an acceleration disc around its supermassive black hole which releases large amounts of radiation, hence its bright appearance. IC 4271 appears to be interacting with its smaller neighboring galaxy, PGC 3096774.

UGC 1840 known as Arp 145, are a pair of interacting galaxies located 250 million light-years away from the Solar System in the Andromeda constellation. Made up of two galaxies, UGC 1840 NED01 and UGC 1840 NED02, the two galaxies had recently collided with each other in which the elliptical galaxy has penetrated through the spiral galaxy's nucleus leaving a hole in its middle, thus forming a ring galaxy. With a diameter of 1.3 arc minutes, close to 100,000 thousand light-years, they are roughly the same size as the Milky Way.
