ESO 501-64: possible jellyfish galaxy

[image] SIMBAD shows “interacting galaxies”, but it is clearly a jellyfish galaxy. Those type of galaxies fly trough a galaxy cluster and have usually strong star-formation caused by the ram pressure they experience. Neither SIMBAD, nor NED shows a reference that this is a jellyfish galaxy known to science. It has with z=0.121470 a relative low redshift. Only in legacy dr9.
