Abstract
For the last ten years faint ionized gas detection has been carried ou t for elliptical galaxies with success. The kinematics is essential to understand galaxy gas origin and fate. Here we present a sample of 11 elliptical and lenticular galaxies observed with the ''Cigale'' scann ing Perot-Fabry instrument. For each galaxy monochromatic and velocity map of ionized gas is presented. Geometrical properties such as viewi ng angles and axis ratios are also derived from observations. Double g aseous components are found in 3 galaxies of our sample, implying an e xternal origin for at least part of the observed gas.
