Scientific paper

New observations of IRAS 14348 - 1447 were made with a near-infrared long-slit spectrograph, high spatial and velocity resolution making it possible to study the nature of the two distinct nuclei based on the line profiles, and to understand the three-dimensional geometry. The detection of a previously unknown emission feature at the rest wavelength 1.890 microns, and the possible identification of an allowed C II line are reported. The rather small radial-velocity difference of the two nuclei and optical morphology of the galaxy may indicate a near head-on collision of two spirals, viewed face-on.
