************************************************************************* 61109 In order to estimate correct total mass of a binary system of galaxies, we sugget to adopt mass determination method based on X-ray observation of hot gas associated with the system; such method is much more reliable than traditional one which is based on velocity difference and apparent separation between member galaxies of the system, if dark halo extends over orbit of the members. We propose an ASCA 100 ksec observation of a binary system of galaxies NGC 7679/NGC 7682 to explore such dark halo enveloping the entire system. *************************************************************************
