The larger spiral, NGC 2207, is classified as an intermediate spiral galaxy exhibiting a weak inner ring structure around the central bar. The smaller companion spiral, IC 2163, is classified as a barred spiral galaxy that also exhibits a weak inner ring and an elongated spiral arm that is likely being stretched by tidal forces with the larger ...
NGC 5965 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Draco. It is located at a distance of circa 150 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 5965 is about 260,000 light years across. It was discovered by William Herschel on May 5, 1788. [3]
NGC 7496 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Grus. It is located at a distance of about 60 million light-years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that it is 75,000 light years across. It was discovered by John Herschel on September 5, 1834. [3]

NGC 4731 is a barred spiral galaxy located near the Virgo Supercluster. To its celestial south lies NGC 4731A, a small irregular galaxy. [2] Both galaxies feature high concentrations of neutral HI gas. [3] It is theorized that its elongated arm structure could be related to gravitational interactions with a nearby galaxy, NGC 4967.
The morphological classification is SB(r)ab, [4] which indicates it is a barred spiral with an inner ring structure and moderate to tightly wound arms. [5] It is situated in physical proximity to the galaxies NGC 4291 and NGC 4386 , with X-ray emissions from the intervening gap indicating NGC 4319 and NGC 4291 may be interacting . [ 6 ]
NGC 4414 is a flocculent spiral galaxy, with short segments of spiral structure but without the dramatic well-defined spiral arms of a grand design spiral. The galaxy was imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, as part of the HST's main mission to determine the distance to galaxies, and again in 1999 as part of the Hubble Heritage project .
This galaxy was included in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as one of three examples of nearby galaxies with single spiral arms. [6] Although NGC 4618 is labeled as peculiar, many similar galaxies have been identified. It has been hypothesized that this galaxy's asymmetric structure may be the result of a gravitational interaction with NGC 4625. [3]
