AbstractAbstract
[en] NGC 4013 is a distinctly warped galaxy with evidence of disk–halo activity. Through deep H i observations and modeling we confirm that the H i disk is thin (central exponential scale height with an upper limit of 4″ or 280 pc), but flaring. We detect a vertical gradient in rotation velocity (lag), which shallows radially from a value of −35 km s−1 kpc−1 at 1.′4 (5.8 kpc), to a value of zero near R25 (11.2 kpc). Over much of this radial range, the lag is relatively steep. Both the steepness and the radial shallowing are consistent with recent determinations for a number of edge-ons, which have been difficult to explain. We briefly consider the lag measured in NGC 4013 in the context of this larger sample and theoretical models, further illuminating disk–halo flows.
