Scientific paper

Radial velocities in the galaxy VV574 - a possible nest of interacting galaxies - have been measured. No large internal motions are found. The rotation velocity does not exceed 10-15 km/s, giving the mass of ≈107 M_sun;. The electron density derived from [S II] lines is 103 cm-3 and the ionized hydrogen mass is ≡104 M_sun;. VV574 appears to be a irregular dwarf galaxy with absolute magnitude MB = -11m belonging to the M81 group.
