Long tidal tail of stars!

The galaxy above has PhotoZ
objID 1237678620106031326
z 0.064909
zErr 0.039893

The target galaxy has PhotoZ
objID 1237678620106031297
z 0.071101
zErr 0.019719

objID 1237678620106031297
z 0.071101
zErr 0.019719

so they may have interacted in the past.

"Oh! in trying to answer you questions I found out something new it is also called "Medusa merger" awesome! "by elizabeth 2 years ago

http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr8/en/get/specById.asp?id=1146172197308491776 lots of hot hydrogen, so a feeding black hole.

enter image description here

nothing nearby which may be responsible, so probably a merger going on.

Over 300 references in NED, I wonder if any have a picture?
