UGC 1840, also known as Arp 145, are a pair of interacting galaxies located 250 million light-years away from the Solar System in the Andromeda constellation. [2] The earliest known reference to the pair of galaxies is in part 2 of the Morphological Catalogue of Galaxies, published in 1964, where it is listed as MCG +07-06-002. [3]
Made up of two galaxies, UGC 1840 NED01 (PGC 9060) [4] and UGC 1840 NED02 (PGC 9062), [5] the two galaxies had recently collided with each other [6] in which the elliptical galaxy has penetrated through the spiral galaxy's nucleus leaving a hole in its middle, thus forming a ring galaxy. [7] [8] 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. [9] [ unreliable source? ]
Both galaxies are listed as Arp 145 in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies which was created by Halton Arp. [10] [11] They fall under the category of objects that have emanating material and both classified as galaxies that have ring systems.
UGC 9425 are a pair of interacting galaxies located in the constellation of Boötes, comprising PGC 52283 and PGC 87675, both disk-type galaxies. It is located 468 million light-years from Earth and catalogued as Arp 241 by Halton Arp.
NGC 5829 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Boötes. It is 281 million light-years away from Earth and was discovered by astronomer, Edouard Stephan in May 1882.
Arp 7 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Hydra. Redshift-independent measurements of its distance vary widely, from 5.9 Mpc to 83.7 Mpc. Its morphological classification is SB(rs)bc, meaning it is a barred spiral galaxy with some ring-like structure.
NGC 507, also known as Arp 229, CGCG 502-67, MCG 5-4-44, PGC 5098, UGC 938, and V V 207, is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It was described as being "very faint", "pretty large", "round", "brighter in the middle", and "south of NGC 508" by John Dreyer in the New General Catalogue. The two galaxies are a part of the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, where NGC 507 is described as "Circular or near circular rings of small density difference."
NGC 6040 is a spiral galaxy located about 550 million light-years away in the constellation Hercules. NGC 6040 was discovered by astronomer Édouard Stephan on June 27, 1870. NGC 6040 is interacting with the lenticular galaxy PGC 56942. As a result of this interaction, NGC 6040's southern spiral arm has been warped in the direction toward PGC 56942. NGC 6040 and PGC 56942 are both members of the Hercules Cluster.
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.
Arp 146 are a pair of interacting galaxies located 1.05 billion light-years away from Earth in the Cetus constellation. It was discovered by Dewhirst and catalogued by Boris Vorontsov-Velyaminov as VV 790. Under the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies created by Halton Arp, they are categorized under galaxies that have associated rings.
UGC 934, known as PGC 5085, is a large spiral galaxy about 470 million light-years away from the solar system. It is located in the constellation of Pisces and about 285,000 thousand light-years in diameter.
IC 4461 is a spiral galaxy located in the Boötes constellation, located at distance of 417 million light-years from both the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy.
UGC 4881 is a pair of interacting galaxies, UGC 4881A and UGC 4881B. They are located in the constellation Lynx, some 500 million light-years away. UGC 4881, the brighter, is a peculiar spiral galaxy. It has been heavily documented by the Hubble Space Telescope, and is cataloged in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies.
UGC 4653 known as Arp 195, is a trio of interacting galaxies located 763 million light-years away from the solar system in the Lynx constellation. The galaxies are being distorted through gravitational interactions with each other. The first known reference for this object, was in 1959 where B.A. Vorontsov-Vel'yaminov compiled it inside the Vorontsov-Vel'yaminov Interacting galaxies, as VV 243.
Arp 251 is a group of three spiral galaxies. The galaxies are visible in the constellation Cetus. Arp 251 is cataloged in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, which is a catalog of unusual galaxies put into groups based on purely morphological criteria. Arp 251 belongs to the class of galaxies with signs of splitting.
NGC 5279 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel in 1789. NGC 5279 is in gravitational interaction with the galaxy NGC 5278. This pair of galaxies appears in Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies under the designation Arp 239. The luminosity class of NGC 5279 is I1. NGC 5279 is a galaxy whose core shines in the ultraviolet region. It is listed in the Markarian catalog under the designation Mrk 271.
IC 2431 are a group of interacting galaxies in the constellation of Cancer. They are located 684 million light-years away from the Solar System and were discovered on February 24, 1896, by Stephane Javelle.
NGC 3750 is a lenticular galaxy with a bar located in the constellation of Leo. It is located 450 million light-years from the Solar System and was discovered by Ralph Copeland on February 9, 1874.
NGC 3748 is a lenticular galaxy with a bar located in the Leo constellation. It is located 440 million light-years away from the Solar System and was discovered by Ralph Copeland on April 5, 1874, but also observed by Hermann Kobold, Lawrence Parsons and John Louis Emil Dreyer.
NGC 3745 is a lenticular galaxy with a bar structure located in the constellation of Leo. NGC 3745 is located 471 million light-years away from the Solar System and was discovered by Ralph Copeland on April 5, 1874, but also observed by Hermann Kobold, Lawrence Parsons and John Louis Emil Dreyer.
NGC 3751 is a type E-S0 lenticular galaxy located in the Leo constellation. It is located 450 million light-years away from the Solar System and was discovered by Ralph Copeland on April 5, 1874.
Arp 60 also known as LEDA 1762846, is a barred spiral galaxy located in Coma Berenices. It is located 958 million light-years from the Solar System and has an approximate diameter of 95,000 light-years.
NGC 5098 are a binary pair of distant galaxies located in Canes Venatici constellation. They are made up of one Type E elliptical galaxy, PGC 46529 or NGC 5098 NED01 located east and one Type ES-0 lenticular galaxy, PGC 46515 or NGC 5098 NED02 located west. Both galaxies are located 559 million light-years away from the Solar System and were discovered on April 29, 1827, by John Herschel.
