The genesis of the ring galaxy Arp 144 (NGC 7828/29)Multicolor near-infrared images have been obtained for the 'folded ring' galaxy Arp 144 (NGC 7828/29). About 10 to the 10th solar mass stellar nuclei associated with both NGC 7828 and NGC 7829 are found, indicating that this system is the result of an interaction between two similarly massive galaxies. The galaxy/intergalactic H I cloud collision model proposed by Freeman and de Vaucouleurs (1974) appears to be untenable, since it unequivocally predicts the existence of a single evolved stellar nucleus.
