ESO 69-6 collectively known as AM 1633-682,[1] is a pair of interacting galaxies located 654 million light-years away in the constellation of Triangulum Australe.

[5] Long tidal tails are formed, which stars and gas are stripped and torn away from their outer regions.

[5] Additionally numerical simulations that reproduces interaction-induced inflow of gas and resulting nuclear starbursts can, might trigger strong starbursts in both galaxies.

[7] It is proven from the gravitational interactions of ESO 69–6, the surrounding intergalactic medium can be enriched with metals very efficiently up to distances of several 100 kpc.

[8] This can be explained in terms of indirect processes or direct processes that create kinetic spreading of baryonic matter.
