New optical velocities for local galaxy candidates

We used the 6-meter BTA telescope to determine radial velocities for 46 galaxies, previously considered to be nearby objects. Twelve of them have kinematic distances within 13 Mpc and are new probable companions to the bright Local Volume galaxies: NGC 1068, NGC 2903, NGC 4517, NGC 4565, NGC 4826. We also found a new tiny satellite of the nearby (10.38 Mpc) SMC-like dwarf galaxy DDO 46. Two isolated dIrr galaxies: dw 1408-0802 and Dw 1552-1027 are probably located inside the Local Void. The spectrum of the latter shows a rich set of emission lines. Using the radial velocities and projected separations of 13 NGC 1068 satellites, we estimated the total mass of the group to be M = (2.6 ± 1.0) × 1012 M⊙.
