UGC 934, known as PGC 5085, is a large spiral galaxy about 470 million light-years away from the solar system. [1] It is located in the constellation of Pisces and about 285,000 thousand light-years in diameter. [1] [2] With its neighboring galaxy PGC 212740, they together form Arp 70, the 70th number in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies which was created by Halton Arp. [3] In this class, they fall under spiral galaxies that have a small high-surface brightness companions.

According to SIMBAD, it is classified as a Seyfert type 2 galaxy, meaning it has an active galactic nucleus. [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."

IC 4271 is a spiral galaxy located some 800 million light-years away in Canes Venatici constellation. It is 130,000 light-years in diameter. IC 4271 was first located on July 10th 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.

UGC 1840 known as Arp 145, are a pair of interacting galaxies located 250 million light-years away from the solar system in the Andromeda constellation. Made up of two galaxies, UGC 1840 NED01 and UGC 1840 NED02, the two galaxies had recently collided with each other in which the elliptical galaxy has penetrated through the spiral galaxy's nucleus leaving a hole in its middle, thus forming a ring galaxy. 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.
