Abstract (from CDS):

We present the integral field spectroscopic observations of ionized gas (Hα and [N II]) using the PCWI, along with deep CO(2-1) observations by the ${}^{\unicode{x02035}}{\bar{{\rm{U}}}}^{\unicode{x02035}}\bar{{\rm{u}}}$ receiver on JCMT for AGC 102004. The velocity field of Hα shows an anomalous distribution in the northwestern (NW) disk. The Hα spectrum is well-fitted by two Gaussian components, and the weak Gaussian component is dominated by the anomalous Hα in the NW disk. The Gaussian fit center of Hα emission is offset by +24.2 km s–1 from the systemic velocity obtained from the H I emission. We derive the gas-phase metallicity, 12+log(O/H), using [N II]λ6583/Hα ratio as a proxy. The mean value of 12+log(O/H) is 8.30 ± 0.19 over the whole galaxy. The metallicity in the outer disk is lower than the detection limit of 7.72, indicating the metallicity gradient exists in AGC 102004. We speculate a minor/mini-merger event could have happened to the NW disk. CO(2-1) emission has nondetection in AGC 102004, reaching a noise level of 0.33 mK smoothed to 30 km s–1. The upper limit of molecular gas mass in AGC 102004 is 2.1 × 107M⊙ with XCO = 3.02 × 1020 cm–2 (K km s–1)–1. The ${M}_{{{\rm{H}}}_{2}}$/M${}_{{\rm{H}}\,{\rm{I}}}^{{\rm{corr}}}$ of AGC 102004 is lower than 0.0037 and lower than that of normal galaxies.
