Arp 24. North is up and east to the left. Left: IRAC band 1 (3.6 microns). Next: IRAC band 4 (8.0 microns). Next: MIPS 24 microns. Last: False color. Blue=3.6 microns; Red=8.0 microns, after stellar component subtracted.

Note: these images have been published by Cao and Wu 2007, AJ, in press.



Arp 34. North is up and east to the left. Left: IRAC band 1 (3.6 microns). Next: IRAC band 4 (8.0 microns). Next: MIPS 24 microns. Last: False color. Blue=3.6 microns; Red=8.0 microns, after stellar component subtracted.



Arp 65 (NGC 90/93). North is up and east to the left. NGC 90 is the galaxy to the west (right) with the long tails. Left: IRAC band 1 (3.6 microns). Next: IRAC band 4 (8.0 microns). Next: MIPS 24 microns. Last: False color. Blue=3.6 microns; Red=8.0 microns, after stellar component subtracted.
Gorgeous at both IRAC wavelengths. The tails are clumpier at 8.0 microns. The bulge of the northern galaxy is more visible at 3.6 microns, while the disk is more evident at 8.0 microns. Just the disks are visible at 24 microns, with a hint of the southeastern tail of NGC 90. Note the very red (dusty; starbursty) clumps in the western galaxy.

Arp 72. Left: IRAC band 1 (3.6 microns). Next: IRAC band 4 (8.0 microns). Next: MIPS 24 microns. Last: False color. Blue=3.6 microns; Red=8.0 microns, after stellar component subtracted.

Note also the bright clump in the bridge at 24 microns.
