Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 3862 = UGC 8023 = Arp 265 = VV 266 has an eccentric structure, much brighter on the southern end, noted by Wolf as an "att * 15." I suspect that it is a "ring" galaxy, similar to NGC 4774, NGC 7828/29, IC 298 (all of which see), and others. There is a small, red companion galaxy just to the southeast which may be -- if this is indeed a ring galaxy -- the nucleus, stripped of its disk, or the colliding galaxy which "destroyed" the spiral.
