Overall, within the 12-beam image cube centred on the NGC 7232 group, we detect 17 H i sources. Six of these detections are well-known H i -rich galaxies including one fully interacting pair. Five of these detection are newly resolved H i galaxies with identifiable stellar counterparts. The remaining six H i detections are likely tidal debris associated with the NGC 7232/3 triplet. The triplet is a complex system. The H i components of NGC 7232 and NGC 7233 appear to be fully intertwined. NGC 7232B still retains most of its gas but shows evidence that it is beginning to interact with the other two galaxies. H i clouds C5 and C6 are likely tidal clumps that have been produced by the triplet system and possibly indicate the projected spatial location of two tidally formed tails of H i . If H i cloud C6 is moving away from its parent galaxies, it has sufficient mass to eventually decouple from the tidal tail and possibly develop into a long-lived TDG. H i clouds C1–C4 might have been produced by the triplet system, or these clouds could indicate an earlier interaction event involving another group member, such as IC 5181. A portion of the H i within this region, which was originally identified as belonging to HIPASS J2214−45 is likely diffusely distributed and lies below the detection threshold of our current ASKAP observations. Accordingly, it is difficult to ascertain the origins of the H i bridge that appears to be connecting NGC 7232/3 and IC 5181. Future work would include adding short-spacing/single-dish observations to the ASKAP data in order to recover more of the diffuse gas in and around the tidal features, in order to further understand the interaction processes that are taking place. The high-resolution capabilities of ASKAP produced moderately well-resolved moment maps of four galaxies (i.e. IC 5171, ESO 288−G049, ESO 298−G010, and ESO 289−G011) that can be used for further kinematic analysis. The newly detected H i counterparts of five stellar galaxies indicate their membership to the group. These nine galaxies provide a more complete picture of the group environment surrounding the NGC 7232/3 triplet. There are many areas where the data quality and processing procedure can be greatly improved for ASKAP. The addition of more antennas – to provide more complete sky coverage and achieve higher sensitivity with less integration time – along with the use of the on-dish calibration system and an overall improved observing method will show vast improvements to the data quality. With expanded computing systems and a more robust askapsoft pipeline, larger data sets can be processed more efficiently. The observations and results presented in this paper serve as one
