A good chance that 2 objects are gravitationally bound

  • wbaloch by wbaloch

    My evaluation focussed on the central object, but I think there's a strong chance that the galaxy at the centre-right is a companion, as it's roughly the same size and the colours are also similar.

    Are we dealing with a group of at least 2 galaxies here?
    Does the rather irregular shape of the centralmember indicate that it's the result of a merger?

    You are correct in classifying the central object.
    As for a merger : the image is really too fuzzy to tell for me
