The NGC 4410 group is a very complicated system, containing clear evidence for gravitational interactions between galaxies as well as evidence for an external force acting upon the radio lobes of the radio galaxy. NGC 4410A and B are strongly interacting, as evidenced by the stellar and HI tails and bridges extending from this pair. The peculiar ring-like structure of NGC 4410 and the luminous H II regions suggests that a near-head-on collision between these two galaxies occurred. The luminous H II regions seen along this structure may have been triggered by this collision.

We suggest that the distortion of the NGC 4410 radio lobes was caused by ram pressure from the interstellar medium in the system, due to the motion of the interstellar matter relative to the radio source during the gravitational interaction of NGC 4410A with NGC 4410B. An alternative possibility is that the peculiar radio morphology is due to motion through an intragroup medium, however, the small radial velocity of NGC 4410A relative to the group and the lack of diffuse X-ray emission in the group makes this scenario somewhat less likely, unless the group is not virialized or is merging with another group.
