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]
NGC 6744 (also known as Caldwell 101 or the Pavo Galaxy [3]) is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Pavo (Peacock). Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 802 ± 3 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 38.6 ± 2.7 Mly (11.82 ± 0.83 Mpc ). [ 1 ]
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 1086 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Perseus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 3848 ± 14 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 56.76 ± 3.98 Mpc (∼185 million light-years). [1] It was discovered by American astronomer Lewis Swift on 20 August 1885. [2]
NGC 5907 (also known as Knife Edge Galaxy or Splinter Galaxy) is a spiral galaxy located approximately 46.5 million light years from Earth. [2] German-British astronomer William Herschel discovered the galaxy on 5 May 1788.

NGC 3190 is a spiral galaxy with tightly wound arms and lying in the constellation Leo.It was discovered by William Herschel in 1784. NGC 3190 is member of Hickson 44 galaxy group, estimated at around 80 million light years away, [2] and consisting of four galaxies in a tight group - NGC 3193 is fairly featureless, NGC 3187 is a dim but striking spiral galaxy and NGC 3185 has a barred spiral ...
