MCG+07-33-027 is an isolated spiral galaxy located about 330 million light-years away in the constellation Hercules. It has a very high rate of star formation which would make it a starburst galaxy. Normally, starburst galaxies are triggered by the collision of another galaxy. However most galaxies are in groups or clusters, while MCG+07-33-027 is solitary. Therefore, the cause of the starburst was not due to a collision or by the passing of a nearby galaxy and so the cause of the activity remains unknown.

NGC 5765, also designated as MCG+01-38-004 and MCG+01-38-005, is a pair of interacting megamasers in the constellation Virgo, roughly 400,000,000 light-years (120,000,000 pc) away from Earth. NGC 5765B is active, and energy is released from the core, some of which is absorbed by a nearby cloud of water. The cloud then re-emits this energy as microwaves. These emissions were used to help redefine the Hubble constant.
