NGC 7028 is the designation of a celestial object in the constellation of Delphinus. The object was supposedly discovered by the German astronomer Albert Marth on 17 September 1863. [3] However, its identification is uncertain, and the object is considered lost. [4] No galaxies or nebulous objects are at the coordinates that he gave. [4]

One candidate is a spiral galaxy designated UGC 11676, or CGCG 448-039. [1] [4] It has an apparent magnitude of 14.8, [1] and is "very faint, small, very little extended", [4] just as Marth described. [4] While the declination of this object matches that of Marth's description, the right ascension is 2.5 arcminutes off. [4]

<i>Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies</i> Catalogue of peculiar galaxies produced by Halton Arp

The Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies is a catalog of peculiar galaxies produced by Halton Arp in 1966. A total of 338 galaxies are presented in the atlas, which was originally published in 1966 by the California Institute of Technology. The primary goal of the catalog was to present photographs of examples of the different kinds of peculiar structures found among galaxies.

UGC 9796 is a lenticular and polar-ring galaxy in the constellation Boötes, and about 250 million light years distant from Earth. It is an object of great scientific interest as there have been very few polar ring galaxies discovered. UGC 9796 is a very gas-rich environment hosting as much 5×109 solar masses of neutral hydrogen. DSS and SDSS images show that it is very similar to polar ring galaxy NGC 660, the best-known of all the polar ring galaxies.
