Scientific paper

Observations of IC 860 in CO (lambda = 2.6 mm) have been compared to existing data in HI (lambda = 21 cm) and OH (lambda = 18 m). The present measured central velocity of 3933 km/s for CO is found to be close to those measured for HI and OH. The results are consistent with a disk, or possibly spiral, morphology for IC 860. The star formation efficiency of the object is considered, and it is suggested that IC 860 behaves both like an interacting and a starburst galaxy.
