Scientific paper

Recent observations of broadband H I emission over the range of redshifts 5600-6800 km/sec at the position of NGC 7318a/b in Stephan's Quintet of galaxies are discussed. It is argued that this emission, at a level of 8 mJy, coupled with an observed narrowband offset H I cloud and other observations of broadband emission, provides further evidence for a high degree of interaction among the galaxies NGC 7318a, 7318b and 7319. The interaction is supposed to have created a large cloud of neutral hydrogen with a 1000 km/sec range in redshift of extent approximately 100 kpc and mass approximately 5 x 10 to the 10th solar masses enveloping the galaxies.
