NGC 7319 is a member of the compact group of galaxies known as Stephan’s Quintet. The systemic velocity 6740 km s−1 gives a distance of 90Mpc (H0= 75 kms−1 Mpc−1) for NGC 7319. This galaxy has a tail and/or ring which suggests interaction with a neighboring pair of galaxies, NGC 7318A and B (e.g., Arp 1973). Durret & Warrin (1990) and Durret (1994) performed optical long-slit spectroscopy and found an extended emission-line region (EELR) in NGC 7319. They detected highly excited gas over along PA = 61° and 10″ along PA – 151°. Apart from these works, there have not been any studies on the velocity field and excitation of the gas in the EELR of NGC 7319. More details were published by Aoki et al. (1996).
