| Abstract | ||
| This work presents BVR photometric observations and analyses for galaxy pair KPG 562 selected from the Karachentsev Catalog of Isolated Pairs of Galaxies. The observations were obtained using the 1.88-m Telescope of the Kottamia Astronomical Observatory (KAO), Egypt. There is no interaction signs assigned for this pair as reported by Karachentsev Catalog. We used the surface photometry technique to obtain photometric parameters for each galaxy of the pair. The isophotal contours, the luminosity profiles, color profiles (B-V, V-R), ellipticity profiles, position angle (PA) profiles and isophotal center-shift (xc, yc) profiles have been presented. The total and absolute magnitude, ellipticity and position angle (PA) were also obtained from the studied galaxy pair. The studied galaxy pair is clearly showing signs of interaction opposed to that found by Karachentsev. We found that the galaxy KPG 562b contains one tidal tail. The length and thickness of tidal tail were obtained and presented in this study. | ||
