We present new HI data of the dwarf galaxy KK 69, obtained with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) with a signal-to-noise ratio that almost double previous observations. We carried out a Gaussian spectral decomposition and stacking methods to identify the cold neutral medium (CNM) and the warm neutral medium (WNM) of the HI gas. We found that 30% of the total HI gas, which corresponds to a mass of approx. 10^7 Mo, is in the CNM phase. The distribution of the HI in KK 69 is not symmetric. Our GMRT HI intensity map of KK 69 overlaid onto a Hubble Space Telescope image reveals an offset of approx. 4 kpc between the HI high-density region and the stellar body, indicating it may be a dwarf transitional galaxy. The offset, along with the potential truncation of the HI body, are evidence of interaction with the central group spiral galaxy NGC 2683, indicating the HI gas is being stripped from KK 69. Additionally, we detected extended HI emission of a dwarf galaxy member of the group as well as a possible new galaxy located near the north-eastern part of the NGC 2683 HI disk.

KK 69 的新 H i 观测。KK 69 是过渡中的矮星系吗?

我们展示了矮星系 KK 69 的新 HI 数据,该数据是使用巨型米波射电望远镜 (GMRT) 获得的,其信噪比几乎是之前观测结果的两倍。我们进行了高斯光谱分解和叠加方法来识别 HI 气体的冷中性介质 (CNM) 和暖中性介质 (WNM)。我们发现总 HI 气体的 30%,相当于约 10^7 Mo,处于CNM相。KK 69 中 HI 的分布是不对称的。我们将 KK 69 的 GMRT HI 强度图叠加到哈勃太空望远镜图像上,揭示了大约 HI 高密度区与星体之间的距离为 4 kpc,表明它可能是一个矮过渡星系。偏移量,以及 HI 体的潜在截断,
