ESO 318-G013 (HIPASS
J1047-38) is a small, edge-on spiral galaxy at a TF distance of 6.5
Mpc. Its nearest neighbour is ESO 376-G016 (HIPASS J1043-37; vhel
= 668 km/s) about 2 degrees away. Our ATCA data show a well-resolved, but
somewhat lopsided HI disc extending well beyond the stellar body. While its
rotation appears regular, the gas distribution shows some peculiar features.
A faint HI tail on the western (receding) side may hint at tidal interactions.
We measure FHI = 9.1 Jy km/s, in agreement with HIPASS (Koribalski
et al. 2004), and derive MHI = 9.1 × 107
M☉.
