  • Catalogs of Galaxy Pairs
  • Karachentsev isolated pair of galaxies in SDSS
  • The selection criterion for Karachentsev (1972) pairs can be found at NED "Translated by Dr. William Keel".
  • I used Karachentsev (1972) on the SDSS EDR and identified 1479 isolated merging galaxy candidates also see Table (1) .
  • Study of Holmberg effect
  • Merging Pair slide Show
