| 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 to the right and slightly higher). There does seem to be a suggestion of a second interacting galaxy in the opposite direction, in the same plane as NGC 3432. Both may be represent what Arp categorizes as "material ejected from nuclei", though it seems equally likely that the materials may be in a merger process. |
