21-cm neutral hydrogen line and continuum study of the galaxy Maffei 2.
Abstract
The Maffei 2 object has been observed with the radio telescope in the 21-cm line of neutral hydrogen and in the continuum at 1415 MHz. Its main physical properties have been determined and it appears that this object is a medium spiral galaxy. It is probably located beyond the Local Group in the southern part of the Ursa Major-Camelopardalis cloud of galaxies. Key words: galaxies - 21-cm radiation - neutral hydrogen
