Local Group (LG) Analogs (LGAs) are galaxy associations dominated by a few bright spirals reminiscent of the LG.
Description
The NGC3447/NGC3447A system is a member of the LGG 225 group, a nearby LGA. This system is considered a physical pair composed of an intermediate-luminosity late-type spiral, NGC3447 itself, and an irregular companion, NGC3447A, linked by a faint, short filament of matter.
A ring-like structure in the NGC3447 outskirts has been emphasised by Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) observations. This work aims to contribute to the study of galaxy evolution in low-density environments, a favourable habitat to highly effective encounters, shedding light on the evolution of the NGC3447/NGC3447A system. We performed a multi-{lambda} analysis of the surface photometry of this system to derive its spectral energy distribution and structural properties using ultraviolet (UV), Swift UVOT, and optical Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) images complemented with available far-IR observations.

We also characterised the velocity field of the pair using two-dimensional H{alpha} kinematical observations of the system obtained with PUMA Fabry-Perot interferometer at the 2.1m telescope of San Pedro Martir (Mexico). All these data are used to constrain smooth particle hydrodynamic simulations with chemo-photometric implementation to shed light on the evolution of this system. The luminosity profiles, from UV to optical wavelengths, are all consistent with the presence of a disc extending and including NGC3447A.
The overall velocity field does not emphasise any significant rotation pattern, rather a small velocity gradient between NGC3447 and NGC3447A. Our simulation, detached from a large grid explored to best-fit the global properties of the system, suggests that this arises from an encounter between two halos of equal mass.
