NGC 622

[A short, linear dust lane splits the nucleus nearly in half suggesting that the perturber was destroyed in a passage close to the nucleus.]

"We have suspected for a long time that NGC 4622 has suffered from some kind of interaction with another galaxy," said Buta. "Its two outer arms are lopsided, meaning something has disturbed it. The new HST images suggest, in fact, that NGC 4622 has consumed a small companion galaxy"

I'm buying those explanations. :)

Chandra took photos of the center of our galaxy recently, but has yet to take (or be able to take?) a nice series of X-ray photos of NGC 4622.
