| Description | The two members of Arp 95 are IC 4462, a SBb starburst galaxy, and PGC 52123 an elliptical galaxy next to it. Arp notes: "Star-like condensation in spiral." (presumably the black dot to the right of the nucleus. Also: "Connection to E galaxy inferred, not seen". I don't see any sign of connection either. IC 4461 is at a higher redshift, and presumably, therefore, would not support direct interactions.
