Arp 200

This Astrobin debut object is a disturbed spiral galaxy located 115 million light years away in the constellation of Aries at a declination of +13 degrees. Known as both Arp 200 and NGC 1134, it is the large galaxy at the top center of the image. It spans 2.5 arc-minutes in our apparent view, which corresponds to an actual diameter of about 80,000 light years. This galaxy has not been studied in detail to my knowledge.

This object was classified by Dr. Arp in his category of Material Ejected From Nucleus. This is another one of his odd categories. My best guess is that the disturbance of NGC 1134 is being cause by the faint patch of light just above and right of the core, and just beneath the star stream. This may be a small dwarf galaxy which is in the process of being absorbed.

The object at the bottom of the image is the beautifully symmetric grand spiral galaxy IC 267, 140 million light years away. It is too far from NGC 1134 to be interacting with it.

The object in the right corner is the irregular galaxy UGC 2362, also known as PGC 10907. It is 170 million light years away, also too distant from NGC 1134 to cause any disturbance.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
