GALEX and SDSS image of Arp 283, also known as NGC 2798 and NGC 2799.

The left galaxy in this interacting pair, NGC 2799, is viewed edge-on. A bridge with clumps of star formation appears to connect it to NGC 2798, at right.

A two-panel image. The left panel is labeled Arp 283 GALEX. A scale bar marks 1 arcminute, which is about 1/8 the width of the frame. The panel shows a low-res image of a pair of interacting galaxies. in shades of yellow and blue. The galaxy on the left is seen edge-on. It has a bright central core and a slightly warped blue disk. The edge of the disk arcs to the right, appearing to connect to its companion galaxy. The second galaxy is seen as a fuzzy yellow circle, with a brighter off-center core. The right panel is labeled Arp 283 SDSS and has a similar 1 arcminute scale bar. It shows the same galaxies at the same scale and is higher resolution. The galaxy on the left is seen edge-on. It has a bright yellow central core and a slightly warped blue disk. The edge of the disk arcs to the right, appearing to connect to its companion galaxy. The second galaxy is inclined, but seen closer to face-on. It has a central bar of blue-ish stars that is largely obscured by a haze of yellow stars and dust lanes in the circular core of the galaxy. Two spiral arms emerge from the core, which are wide, poorly defined, and mostly made of yellow older stars, which is unusual for a spiral galaxy.

The grayscale background image is the exposure-corrected and smoothed ROSAT X-ray map in the $0.1−2.4$\,keV band {1994Natur.368..828B polarisation fraction map. Bias-corrected polarised intensity map of M\,49. The blue contours show the total intensity radio emission starting at $3 $ and increasing in powers of 2. The background shows the SDSS optical image in grey scales. The sensitivity of the polarised map is shown in the top left corner.
