Descripción
We present here new spectroscopic observations of Mrk 1040 and LEDA
212995 (Mrk 1040 companion) obtained with the Isaac Newton Telescope
(INT). The intensity ratios and widths for the narrow emission lines
found in LEDA 212995 are typical of H II regions. The red-shift
(0.0169±0.00015) of the object derived from these emission lines
is very close to the red-shift of Mrk 1040 (z=0.01665). The weak narrow
and broad absorption lines were detected in the Halpha wavelength band
of LEDA 212995 spectra. These absorptions indicate that the companion
might be at least partly obscured by Mrk 1040. Using this and previous
observations we discuss the possible physical relationship between these
two galaxies.
