2 spirals in the beginnings of merging. Looks like the leading edge of the smaller one is moving gas off the leading edge of the other

There are photoZ middle one 0.08±0.02 other galaxy 0.07±0.02, so inconclusive, so look at morphology

Big galaxy possibly slightly disturbed. No blue star-forming areas. If merging, has just started

@budgieye I read that #supernova thread - very cool 😃 but how do you tell if it's a supernovae - was slightly blinded by data there!

You can tell that it is a supernova, it is bright blue and has sharp edges, then by going into NED or SIMBAD.
