October 5th, 2003...I finally stepped on the southern hemisphere
for the first in my life. We (Jacqueline, Martin, Baerbel and I) got 12hours
of observing time at Narrabri site (ATCA) to investigate a pair of galaxy.
One of two galaxies seems to possess a gas disk rotating in an opposite direction
with respect to its stellar disk. As it has been suggested, it might have something
to do with accreted material from the companion and we wanted to obtain HI map
of this galaxy and another galaxy sitting close in similar velocity range.
And we've got some COOL detection: gas is interacting between two galaxies.
Besides observing at Narrabri, I went Melbourne and Sydney for sightseeing, and also
I collaborated with Baerbel Koribalski at CSIRO/ATNF (Epping/Marsfield).
