Scientific paper

Total and specific orbital angular momenta of all physical pairs of galaxies from the catalogues of Karachentsev (1972) and Turner (1976) are estimated along with the ratios of the orbital momenta to the total spins. The majority of pairs has orbital momenta of the order of the spin of our Galaxy. Almost all the pairs have specific orbital angular momenta not larger than 4×1030cm2/s. The angular momentum for pairs of spiral galaxies is nearly uniformly distributed between spins and orbital momentum.
