Cool Infalling Gas and its Interaction with the Hot Ism of Elliptical Galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We describe work leading to the suggestion that interaction between infalling cool gas and ambient hot, coronal plasma in elliptical galaxies is responsible for emission filaments, and might remove the need for large mass depositions in cooling flows. A test of the hypothesis is undertaken — the run of surface brightness with radius for the emission lines — and the prediction agrees well with the data.
