}}Arp 166 is a pair of interacting elliptical galaxies approximately 225 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Triangulum.[5] The two galaxies, NGC 750 and NGC 751, are listed together as Arp 166 in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies (in the category Galaxies with diffuse filaments).[11]

Observational history

Arp 166 was discovered by German-born British astronomer William Herschel on September 12, 1784, but he did not resolve this close pair of galaxies, therefore he described it as a single object NGC 750.[11][5]

Arp 166 was first seen as a double by Irish engineer and astronomer Bindon Stoney on October 11, 1850, who used Lord Rosse's 72" telescope.[11] The second galaxy from this pair, which is smaller and fainter than NGC 750, was catalogued as NGC 751.[11]

Interacting galaxies

At least 100,000,000 years have passed since the moment of the first strong tidal perturbation between these two galaxies.[16] Both galaxies are characterized by strong tidal interactions and distortions, and they are still in the process of efficient tidal interaction.[16]

The distance between the centers of this pair is 21", or 10 kpc in projection.[18][16] Both galaxies have almost identical central radial velocities.[16] While NGC 750 exhibits nearly flat radial velocity curves, the radial velocity curves of NGC 751 are characterized by large variations of more than 100 km s-1 along the slit.[16]

A large, diffuse tidal tail extends 20 arcsec (10 kpc) to the north-east of the pair.[16]
