Abstract
Gravitational interactions between galaxies are far more common than one might think, assuming that the space density of galaxies is uniform. The galaxies in effect group themselves in clusters, small groups, or pairs: far from being isolated systems they are formed and evolve in interaction with their environment and in particular with neighbouring galaxies.
