Interacting binary galaxies. VI - The fast encounter of NGC 2672 and NGC 2673 (Karachentsev 175, ARP 167)
The isolated pair of interacting ellipticals NGC 2672/2673 (Arp 167; Karachentsev 175), whose line-of-sight relative velocity is about 520 km/s, is studied. This very unequal mass system features two low surface brightness plumes emerging from the secondary galaxy NGC 2673. Photometric data on the pair are described, and the distortions in the
