Arp 60 also known as PGC 1762846, is a barred spiral galaxy[1] located in Coma Berenices.[2][3] It is located 958 million light-years from the Solar System[4] and has an approximate diameter of 95,000 light-years.[2]
Companion galaxy[edit]
Arp 60 has one companion galaxy which is located east: SDSS J131446.02+260629.8 known as PGC 4538493.[5] The galaxy is located 979 million light-years away and as such makes a galaxy pair with Arp 60.[6] Together, they are part of the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies which was created by Halton Arp.[7][8] In this category, they fall under the classification of Spiral Galaxies with Small, high surface brightness companions.[9]
