H I spectra—baseline‐subtracted—from the Effelsberg and GBT 100 m radio telescopes, with their Gaussian fits. The radius is given in the top right corner. These are only the central portions of the observed spectra; we believe that all the emission shown here, including the line wings, is real (cf. the Effelsberg and GBT profiles at 27.6 kpc).
