HI velocity field map of CIG 96 and its companion after a 3.5σ blanking (see Sect. 2.3). The black lines indicate the orientation of the major and minor axis (PA_maj = 20° and PA_min = 110°, respectively) along which the position–velocity cuts have been performed (see Fig. 8). Grey contours represent the indicated velocities in km s⁻¹. The black circle at the bottom left represents the beam size of 28″ × 28″.
