|
|
Arp 323 is a member of the class Galaxy Chains. The tiny galaxy just S of
the bright star is MCG+0-60-60. The largest galaxy, at the NW end of the
chain, is NGC 7783. Moving E and S, the next object is a star and then
another galaxy, MCG+0-60-59. Dropping S, there is another star and then
the very small galaxy NGC 7783C. Finally the tiny and faint galaxy WSW of
7783C is in the Mitchell Anonymous and APMUKS(BJ) catalogs. All of the
galaxies except the last make up Hickson Compact Group 98.
