INTERACTING QUINTETS

AM 0003-362

Even rarer than interacting quartets are interacting quintets. page 5.1 shows a 4m CTIO plate (1387A) of the five galaxies comprising the system AM 0003-362. There is a star projected onto the northern end of the group so that there are, in reality, only three galaxies north of the central spiral, not four as it might first appear. Other interacting quintets are listed in the complete tabular descriptions of Volume I but the objects illustrated show the best examples that were encountered.
