- VLA HI Data (only images not
included in above publications) (datacubes have been deposited in NED)
- Optical (CTIO BVR) + VLA HI
- Optical Data Only
- CO Data
- Other Links:
Optical images are either from the DSS (wide field
of views), or from the CTIO 0.9m, observed in 4/89.
The K-band data were obtained with the UH88" in 1/95.
The D-array HI data were obtained at the VLA in 6/96, the
C-array in 6/97, and they were fully processed and combined
in 11/97.
