Scientific paper

This paper reports the discovery of a bridge of radio continuum emission connecting the pair of galaxies NGC 2820/Mk 108 and NGC 2814. Such continuum bridges have not been found in previous searches. The cosmic rays and magnetic field are energetically the most dominant constituents of the bridge. There is an indication of a weak H I bridge in published data but no evidence for an optical counterpart. It is suggested that such bridges occur only in very close encounters.
