H. Plana et al., EXTENDED IONIZED-GAS IN ELLIPTIC GALAXIES - II - VELOCITY AND MONOCHROMATIC MAPS OF 11 ELLIPTIC AND LENTICULAR GALAXIES, Astronomy & Astrophysics. Supplement series, 128(1), 1998, pp. 75-109
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.
