Abstract
SEVERAL interacting galaxies have been observed recently in different programmes using the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope at 21 cm wavelength (beamwidth 24 s × 24 s cosec δ). We give here a compilation of the data in order to examine the morphology, strength, and the frequency of occurrence of the radio emission from these interacting systems.
