Abstract
I have investigated two abnormal systems at the edge of the Fornax cluster, FCC335 and FCC332. These systems have the appearance of dwarf ellipticals, but show both ongoing star formation and the presence of gas. The goal of this investigation is to find evidence of a recent encounter between these two systems, as well as any consequences of this encounter. I have found that there was an encounter between these two systems at a lookback time of 1.0 + − 0.3 Gyr. This interaction seems to have rapidly quenched these two systems. The recent upturn in star formation seems to be due to the gas falling back into the systems after the encounter.
