Arp 87 (also known as NGC 3808) is a pair of interacting galaxies, NGC 3808A and NGC 3808B. They are situated in the Leo constellation. NGC 3808A, the brighter, is a peculiar spiral galaxy, [2] while NGC 3808B is an irregular galaxy. [3] The two galaxies were discovered on 10 April 1785 by William Herschel.

This tiny Arp object, also known as NGC 3808, is two interacting galaxies located 300 million light years away in the constellation of Leo. The apparent size of each galaxy is less than one minute. I love the bridge of stars between these two galaxies and how it …

2007年10月30日 · NGC 3808 is a nearly face-on spiral galaxy with a bright ring of star formation and several prominent dust arms. Stars, gas, and dust flow from NGC 3808, forming an enveloping arm around its companion. NGC 3808A is a spiral galaxy seen edge-on and is surrounded by a rotating ring that contains stars and interstellar gas clouds.

2007年10月30日 · Arp 87 is a stunning pair of interacting galaxies. Stars, gas, and dust flow from the large spiral galaxy, NGC 3808, forming an enveloping arm around its companion. The shapes of both galaxies have been distorted by their gravitational interaction.

2008年3月23日 · The two main players comprising Arp 87 are NGC 3808 on the right (the larger of the two galaxies) and its companion NGC 3808A on the left. As seen in other mergers similar to Arp 87, the corkscrew shape of the tidal material or bridge of shared matter between the two galaxies suggests that some stars and gas drawn from the larger galaxy have ...

NGC 3808 is a Galaxy Pair in the Leo constellation. NGC 3808 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year. The image below is a photograph of NGC 3808 from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (DSS2 - see the credits section) taken in the red channel.
