摘要
Observations of neutral hydrogen emission from the galaxy IC 10 show a large outer envelope of gas more than 1° in extent. The emission has a velocity gradient along the major axis in the opposite sense to that of the central concentration mapped by Shostak. This unusual velocity reversal can be interpreted in terms of a warped gas-layer in normal rotation and seen face-on. © 1979 Royal Astronomical Society. Provided by the NASA Astrophysics Data System.
