NGC 3432 is a spiral galaxy that can be found in the constellation Leo Minor. It is seen edge-on[2] and with its current interaction with UGC 5983, a near by dwarf galaxy, it features tidal filaments and intense star formation, which is why it was listed in Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies.[3]
