The Galaxy NGC 5643

Figures 1 and 2:
Neutral hydrogen distribution (top) and mean velocity field (bottom) of
the galaxy NGC 5643.
The HI velocity field of NGC 5643 looks rather regular. The closest
velocity contours indicate a falling rotation curve, which could be
a projection effect due to warping of the outer gas layer.
375-m ATCA data (10.3 on-source) from 15-8-1995 * B. Koribalski
(C419). More data has been
taken with the 1.5A array.
