Abstract (from CDS):

We present high-sensitivity and large-scale atomic hydrogen (H I) observations toward lenticular (S0) galaxy NGC 4111 using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope. The column-density map shows that NGC 4111 and seven other different types of galaxies share a huge H I gas complex. The data also suggest that NGC 4111 is interacting with seven galaxies. Moreover, we identified a rotating gas disk associated with NGC 4111 from the H I complex. Still, the H I disk rotation direction has deviated from its stellar disk by about 34$\mathop{.}\limits^{\unicode{x000b0}}$2, indicating that the NGC 4111 galaxy is undergoing a transition from a spiral galaxy to an S0 galaxy by the tidal interactions. The obtained dark matter to stellar mass ratio of NGC 4111 is 3.1 ± 0.7, which is lower than the average value of the local Universe, implying that the interactions may strip its dark matter. Our results suggest that in a galaxy group environment, tidal interactions have a significant effect on galaxy features.
