And there was someone in our field who compiled them into one catalog chip ARP called the atlas of peculiar Galaxy.

Neil deGrasse Tyson StarTalk Radio · Dec 2024 Why people recommend it
Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies by Halton Christian Arp is a comprehensive astronomical catalog published in 1966 that documents galaxies with unusual and asymmetrical shapes. Charles Liu mentioned the catalog on StarTalk Radio during the episode answering questions about the big bang, noting that someone in their field compiled these strange structures into a single catalog known as the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. Neil deGrasse Tyson also brought up the volume multiple times on StarTalk Radio, including in episodes discussing aliens and cosmic queries with Charles Liu. Tyson explained that Halton Arp was a very important observer who compiled this volume of galaxies that simply looked weird because they did not fit into standard classifications. He described the work as a catch-basin for objects that defied conventional categories. Both hosts emphasized that Arp's catalog became one of the most heavily studied collections within the canon of cosmology, giving astronomers a way to examine structural anomalies, outliers, and galactic interactions long before modern computer simulations fully explained them as cosmic train wrecks.
