Arp 206 is a nearby (7.8 Mpc), relatively large (7′.5 x 2′.0), and bright ( = 11.07) interacting system comprising unequal members: NGC 3432 and UGC 5983. A third anonymous galaxy, “Arp 206c”, is visible in the field, (see Figure la) Vorontsov-Velyaminov (1959) included the NGC 3432-UGC 5983 pair in his Atlas and Catalogue of Interacting Galaxies (VV-11). On the other hand Arp (1966) interpreted the system as a galaxy with material ejected from the nucleus (Arp 206).

Bertola (1966, 1968, and priv. comm.) obtained long-slit spectra of the largest galaxy of the pair, NGC 3432. This showed strong non-circular motions that could be interpreted as an explosion in its nucleus. This work is in line with a similar study of another system, Arp 205 (Bertola et al. 1983, Noreau and Kronberg 1986, 1987). In this first case it was found that the non-circular radial velocities were caused by the ‘re-entry’ of galactic material torn away by the interacting system.
