Distortion of the Plane of the Occulting Matter in NGC 5866.
Abstract
The SO galaxy NGC 3866 is shown and described. Attention is drawn to the similarity between the apparent tilt or distortion of the dust plane in this galaxy and the effect observed in the gas plane of our own Galaxy by the 21-cm workers. Some theoretical ideas which have been proposed to explain such a distortion are discussed.
