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. [1] The galaxies are being distorted through gravitational interactions with each other. [2]

This image was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. [2] The galaxies make up the 195th object in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies which was created by Halton Arp. [3] They fall into the category of galaxies with material ejected from nuclei. [4]

UGC 4653 has active nuclear regions which produce infrared (IR) emissions. [5] These appear to be more like AGNs than HII regions. [5]

Supernova

Type Ia supernova, SN 2008bv [6] was discovered in UGC 4653 with a magnitude of 18.3. [7] It was located 1".7 east and 3".9 south of the nucleus. [8]

NGC 6946, sometimes referred to as the Fireworks Galaxy, is a face-on intermediate spiral galaxy with a small bright nucleus, whose location in the sky straddles the boundary between the northern constellations of Cepheus and Cygnus. Its distance from Earth is about 25.2 million light-years or 7.72 megaparsecs, similar to the distance of M101 in the constellation Ursa Major. Both were once considered to be part of the Local Group, but are now known to be among the dozen bright spiral galaxies near the Milky Way but beyond the confines of the Local Group. NGC 6946 lies within the Virgo Supercluster.
