A group consisting of four galaxies - Hg 87. The galaxies constantly
interact gravitationally. The largest galaxy in the group is
the lowest spiral galaxy. Like the elliptic galaxy on the right,
it contains active galaxy nuclei and is supposed to have a black
hole in the center.
The Center's answer - An elliptic object can be distinguished
in a system of objects, not galaxies. They are linked by a common
field but the elliptic object is the main component of this
connection since it can take energy from other clusters to replenish
its field.
