Description
We present new observations of Mrk 1087 that indicate this galaxy is
experiencing a strong star formation event due to the interaction with
-at least- two nearby galaxies, one of them is a star-forming dwarf. We
also discover that some of the surrounding non-stellar objects are tidal
dwarfs hosting weak starbursts.
