Scientific paper

We present VLA H I imaging of the blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy Haro 2 and a map of its CO(1-0) distribution obtained with the OVRO millimeter array. In addition we obtained NIR JH images with the 2.1m telescope of Mexico's National Optical Observatory (OAN) and derived surface brightness profiles. Combining all these results we find an intriguing picture: the H I reveals that the kinematical major axis lies perpendicular to the photometric major axis. Our observations support the suggestion that this configuration is due to recent capture of an important quantity of gas of external origin.
