Markarian 171 is a well known ultra-luminous far-infrared source, as discovered by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, (IRAS). It is assumed to be undergoing a massive burst of star formation. Our HI observations are part of an effort to determine how merging galaxies might trigger star formation, by careful analysis of the information on the velocity and spatial structure of the gas provided by HI spectral line observations.
