KKH 22, the first dwarf spheroidal satellite of IC 342
  We present observations with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble
Space Telescope of the nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxy KKH 22 = LEDA 2807114 in
the vicinity of the massive spiral galaxy IC 342. We derived its distance of
3.12+-0.19 Mpc using the tip of red giant branch (TRGB) method. We also used
the 6 m BTA spectroscopy to measure a heliocentric radial velocity of the
globular cluster in KKH22 to be +30+-10 km/s. The dSph galaxy KKH 22 has the
V-band absolute magnitude of -12.19 mag and the central surface brightness
mu_v,0 = 24.1 mag/sq.arcsec. Both the velocity and the distance of KKH 22 are
consistent with the dSph galaxy being gravitationally bound to IC 342. Another
nearby dIr galaxy, KKH 34, with a low heliocentric velocity of +106 km/s has
the TRGB distance of 7.28+-0.36 Mpc residing in the background with respect to
the IC 342 group. KKH 34 has a surprisingly high negative peculiar velocity of
-236+-26 km/s.
