| Description | This is a tiny cluster of 3 galaxies: NGC 4933 A/B/C. B is the tail galaxy which appears to be a small elliptical galaxy.. A is the middle, larger, spiral galaxy. C is the dim triangular nub ENE of A. The two brighter galaxies are Magnitude 13, and clearly interacting. C is magnitude 18.5 and does not seem to be interacting with the others. Arp remarks that "Companion galaxy very condensed." Assuming A is an elliptical galaxy, I interpret the remark as applying to the narrowness of the plume as it extends past the A's core, which accounts for the "narrow counter-tail". |
