Galaxy group information

IC 167 is a member of the NGC 697 group.^[3] There is some evidence that IC 167 is interacting with nearby NGC 694 as they seem to share HI regions.^[3] The tidal warping of IC 167 also is indicative of an interaction with another galaxy.^[3] How long the interaction between these two galaxies has been occurring is the subject of current research.^[4]
