Is this a merger?

[Rykan]

Searched, couldn't find it on here yet; It's very irregular...

Hi Rykan
lots of disturbances here, so I'd go for merger too.
Even in the DR7 pic

[AlexandredOr]

Yes merger here too !

[Alice]

Ooooh, and an asteroid as well

[Anaclaudia]

This could be a merger as well?

I forgot, the SDSS is:

SDSS 8647475120348136691

Howabout this? Is it behind/in front, or something completely unrelated?

I find it curious nonetheless.

Is this a merger? it looks like part of the lower arm of the barred spiral is being pulled toward the eliptical galaxy? Or maybe is just overlap ?

Welcome to the zoo  check this out.

8658194432641007659 and 587731187279921175.

 NGC 0078 and NGC 0078B

You are talking about 3 galaxies, I see only 2 
Tell me more 

And me. I'm intrigued NED says 3 

NGC 0078 G pair,consisting  of  NGC 0078A and NGC 0078B.

That was my first thought, but sometimes we see that NGC name some close galaxies XXXX and XXXXA (and not necessary XXXXA and XXXXB)... I.e. the way to give the number in this catalog is sometimes surprising..

Have fun here.

I just got this image. The main barred spiral has a red shift z=13.01. The other eliptical has red shift z=12.79

I went for "merger'

that z is something to do with luminosity not redshift. the redshift is the z found in the little table under the image and is usually less than 1 for sdss galaxies. it will only be present if there is a spectra for the galaxy. z=0.017 is the one u want
