Abstract:
    We present major and minor-axis kinematics of stars and ionized gas as
    well as narrow and broad-band surface photometry of the Sa spiral NGC
    2855. In the nuclear regions of this unbarred and apparently
    undisturbed spiral galaxy the gas is rotating perpendicularly to the
    galaxy disk. We suggest that this kinematically-decoupled component is
    the signature of an acquisition process in the history of this galaxy.
