Arp 107

Arp 107 is a peculiar galaxy system featuring a bright, elliptical galaxy interacting with a smaller, disturbed companion galaxy. It is listed in Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies (1966). The larger galaxy is classified as an elliptical, while the companion shows signs of tidal disruption and active star formation. The interaction between the two galaxies has resulted in distorted shapes and unusual features, making Arp 107 a target for studies of galaxy mergers and interactions. The system resides at a significant distance from Earth, and observing details requires powerful telescopes. The exact processes and future evolution of Arp 107 remain subjects of ongoing research.
