Extended neutral hydrogen filamentary network in NGC 2403

Submitter: Simone Veronese
Description: Density map of RGB stars in NGC 2403 and its nearby satellite DDO 44 overlaid with HI filaments (white contours). The stellar stream connecting DDO 44 with the tip of the HI filaments is strongly suggesting that DDO 44 and NGC 2403 underwent a recent interaction. Image credit: Veronese et al. (2023)
