Title:  NGC 1569: A Dwarf Galaxy Starved of Dark Matter?

Abstract:
We present our results from long slit stellar spectroscopy from the KPNO 4-meter + 
Echelle spectrograph combined with high-resolution neutral hydrogen VLA data of NGC 
1569.  We examine the kinematics of the stars and the gas in NGC 1569 and discover 
a strong non-circular motion HI cloud that is falling into the galaxy.  We identify this 
cloud as the responsible culprit for the most recent starburst activity.  In addition, we 
carefully measure the mass of the stars in NGC 1569 using a new SED fitting 
procedure.  We compare the total mass in stars and gas to the dynamical mass 
derived from the maximum rotation speed and conclude that NGC 1569 is dark matter 
deficient.
