UGC 11105, also known as PGC 61361, is a relatively nearby spiral galaxy located 109 million light-years (33.4 Mpc) away in the Hercules constellation. [2] [3] The galaxy is outshone by bright stars in the foreground. [3] From the perspective on Earth, the Sun is 14 thousand trillion times brighter as compared to UGC 1105, if we to calculate the apparent magnitude for both objects. [3] It is a possible active galactic nucleus candidate, according to SIMBAD. [1]

One supernova has been observed in UGC 11105: SN 2019pjs (type II, mag. 17.3). [4]

Arp 273 is a pair of interacting galaxies, 300 million light years away in the constellation Andromeda. It was first described in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, compiled by Halton Arp in 1966. The larger of the spiral galaxies, known as UGC 1810, is about five times more massive than the smaller galaxy. It has a disc that is tidally distorted into a rose-like shape by the gravitational pull of the companion galaxy below it, known as UGC 1813. The smaller galaxy shows distinct signs of active star formation at its nucleus, and "it is thought that the smaller galaxy has actually passed through the larger one."
