Popis: The ultraluminous IRAS galaxy Mrk 273 is a Seyfert 2, multi-merger system with a triple-nucleus and a 20 kpc (H0 = 100 km s−1 Mpc−1) jet to the South. Also, a plume and faint tail extends ~50 kpc Northwest and there are more than 10 dwarf galaxies within 100 kpc of Mrk 273 as determined from the POSS II R and J film copy. Therefore, the precursor of Mrk 273 is probably connected with a group of galaxies.
