On the origin and fate of ionised-gas in early-type galaxies: the SAURON perspective

M. Sarzi, R. Bacon, M. Cappellari +9

By detecting ionised-gas emission in 75% of the cases, the SAURON integral-field spectroscopic survey has further demonstrated that early-type galaxies often display nebular emissi…
