CFHT SITELLE image of Arp 82, also known as NGC 2535 and NGC 2536.
Simulations suggest the two galaxies are in the early stages of a merger. The merger began about 40 million years ago, and the galaxies already experienced one collision and are just about to experience a second. The merger should be complete in another 450 million years.

Image of Arp 94, also known as NGC 3226 and NGC 3227, from the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies by Halton Arp (1966).
In the original catalog, it was in the category: Spiral galaxies - Elliptical companions. The large spiral galaxy, NGC 3227 is interacting with its elliptical galaxy companion, NGC 3226. Faint tidal streams of gas and dust link the pair, showing evidence of their mutual gravitational tugs.

Gemini North image of Arp 84, also known as NGC 5394 and NGC 5395.
Past interactions between this galaxy pair created the bright ring and inner spiral arms seen in the smaller, distorted spiral NGC 5394. Over time, much of the gas that was originally in the ring was pulled into the central region where it is fueling a burst of star formation.

Hubble image of Arp 299, also known as NGC 3690.
This image was taken in 2000 with Hubble's WFPC2 instrument to study the galaxies' hottest and brightest stars in ultraviolet light. Blue and green are ultraviolet, red is visible light. The observations show large amounts of interstellar dust in these merging galaxies.

Image of Arp 24, also known as NGC 3445, from the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies by Halton Arp (1966).
In the original catalog, it was in the category: Spiral galaxies - One-armed. NGC 3445 has one fan-like spiral arm that is dotted with star-forming regions. It is connected to its companion galaxy, seen nearly edge-on to the left, by a weak bridge. The two galaxies likely had a recent encounter.

Kitt Peak image of Arp 286, also known as NGC 5560, NGC 5566, and NGC 5569.
The three galaxies in this triplett are gravitationally interacting. NGC 5566 is the large spiral in the center. The small blue spiral galaxy to the bottom left is NGC 5569. The spiral galaxy to the top left is NGC 5560. Its distorted shape is likely due to interactions with NGC 5569.
