We present 21-cm VLA observations of the Sab galaxy Arp 213. An extended HI disk (approx. 2.3 RHolm) was detected, with a bifurcated or extra arm on the west featuring a large HI knot. Based on the kinematics, this knot does not appear to be a dwarf or small companion, but a local enhancement in the arm. Although no unusual kinematics appear in the region of the odd radial dust lanes that attracted Arp's attention to this galaxy, there is a very low level HI cloud just north of the galaxy at the same position angle. The total HI mass for the galaxy was measured to be 2.9 x 109 Msun. Arp 213 has a high rotational velocity (300 km s-1), and a flat rotation curve that rises in the outermost regions. The calculated dynamical mass for the system is quite high at 4.4 x 1011 Msun. The rotation curve and dynamic mass indicate the presence of a large dark matter halo. Further optical data is needed to confirm its mass. This work was supported by NSF grant AST-0097616 and the SARA Consortium REU program.
