| Description | Arp 206 consists of an edge-on spiral galaxy (NGC 3432) of magnitude 11.3 interacting with a magnitude 16.3 galaxy, UGC 5983 (the little smudge slightly higher than the lower edge of 3432's disk, i.e. SW from the center or NW from the edge). A more likely candidate for "material ejected from nuclei" is the material to the NE (upper left}. At least it's ub the same plane. And the NE end of the central disk looks disrupted. But what suggests it's an ejection and not a merger? |
