The Arp peculiar galaxies are generally interesting objects so they also appear in other astronomical catalogs. Here are some notable intersections:
Eleven Arp Peculiar Galaxies appear in Charles Messier's list of nebulae discovered in the 1700's during his search for comets. Many amateur astronomers have seen these.
M32 Arp 168 M49 Arp 134 M51 Arp 85 M60 Arp 116 M65 Arp 317 M66 Arp 16 & 317 M77 Arp 37 M82 Arp 337 M87 Arp 152 M90 Arp 76 M101 Arp 26
Twenty-nine of Arp's peculiar galaxies appear in the Astronomical League's challenging Herschel 400 observers list. The Herschel 400 represent a contemporary selection of the brightest objects in the comprehensive survey of the sky completed by the Herschel family in the 1780's.
