Image of Arp 16, also known as M66, from the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies by Halton Arp (1966).
In the original catalog, it was in the category: Spiral galaxies - Detached segments. M66 is a face-on spiral galaxy with a weak bar and loosely wound arms that are full of young star clusters.

Chandra image of Arp 220, also known as IC 4553.
The merger of two spiral galaxies set of a burst of star formation in Arp 220.
This X-ray image shows the location of the hottest gas in the galaxy merger. The central bright point contains the remnant cores of the two galaxies, which are about 1,200 light-years apart.

Legacy Surveys image of Arp 10, also known as UGC 1775.
About 85 million years ago, another galaxy likely collided with Arp 10 near its center. This created a density wave that spread outwards, like a ripple in a pond, forming a ring of new stars in the freshly compacted gas. The intruder galaxy appears as a knot below and left of the nucleus.

Hubble image of Arp 299, also known as NGC 3690.
Interactions between these two galaxies triggered a fierce burst of star formation, making Arp 299 one of the most powerful nearby starburst galaxies. At least 10 supernovae have been recorded in the galaxies, although there have likely been more, hidden by the large amount of interstellar dust in the merger.

Image of Arp 289, also known as NGC 3981, from the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies by Halton Arp (1966).
In the original catalog, it was in the category: Double and multiple galaxies - Wind effects. Its irregular arms are likely due to gravitational interactions with a neighboring galaxy.
NGC 3981 is a member of the NGC 4038 galaxy group, which also contains the Antennae Galaxies, a well-known example of interacting galaxies.

In the original catalog, it was in the category: Spiral galaxies - Large, high surface brightness companions. The larger galaxy's inner arms have evenly spaced "beads on a string" star clusters, suggesting recent gravitational interactions between the galaxy pair led to a burst of star formation.
