A mosaic of the 29 HST/ACS images. At HST's high resolution (0.05") and an average redshift of 0.319, these 200x200 pixel images correspond to about 46.7 kpc (150,000 light years) across. The vast majority of systems show signs of interaction/merger activity, such as, companions, tidal tails, rings, shells, star-forming knots and asymmetries. Caption1.txt |

The ring of this galaxy was probably recently formed when another galaxy ploughed through its center. Caption2.txt |

The PSQ nature of this object is thought to have arisen from merger activity of the double nucleus galaxy. Caption3.txt |

This pair is reminiscent of M-51 (The Whirlpool Galaxy). The merger itself is likely what caused the star-forming knots in the smaller galaxy and the asymmetry of the larger galaxy. Caption4.txt |
