Arp 337

Ursa Major
Category: Miscellaneous

Also M82 . This galaxy is seen almost edge on, and it has a vast and strong starburst region, with plume like features coming from the center.

The starburst has probably been triggered by a tidal interaction with nearby M81. The galaxy is a strong radio source.

Redshift is 0,00068 (203 km/s)
