Description

GC 3227 is a spiral galaxy that is interacting with the dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 3226. This interacting system is listed as Arp94 in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies and as Holm187 in the Holmberg Catalogue of Double and Multiple Galaxies.

The interaction between the two galaxies has formed very interesting structures: a looping tidal tail to the north and a very faint tidal tail to the south.

CGC 94-22 is another interacting system to the right of NGC 3227 showing also a tidal tail. This system is much more distant (500 MLy compared to 66 MLy of NGC 3227).
