Scientific paper

IC 10 is one of the nearest starbursting dwarf galaxies. Therefore, this galaxy is ideal to study the connection between the ongoing starburst and the interstellar medium. We obtained a deep H I mosaic using the Westerbork Interferometer to study in particular faint structures in the surroundings of IC 10. We found a complex and disturbed H I distribution covering almost 1 deg2. Several tail-like structures with a chaotic velocity field are observed. These data allow us to investigate whether the extended H I features occur due to starburst-driven superwinds, which sweep the gas away from the galaxy, or if they reflect accretion of (primordial) intergalactic material, which might fuel the starburst.
