Top: spatial distribution of the IKN GCs (large solid circles). The fitted linear regression through their position is shown with solid line, while the IKN major axis and orientation are shown with dashed and light gray line and ellipse, respectively. IKN RGB stars are shown with small (red) dots. Bottom: positions of galaxies associated to the M 81 group according to Karachentsev et al. (2002). Circle sizes are proportional to the galaxy absolute B-band luminosity. The line passing through IKN roughly shows the orientation of its GCs from the top panel.
