Assessing AGN feedback through the lens of multiphase gas in nearby isolated Early Type Galaxies
Abstract
Nearby, isolated Early-Type Galaxies (ETGs) are ideal laboratories for testing the origins of multiphase gas and AGN feedback. Using archival MUSE IFU data, we present the distribution and kinematics of H-alpha gas in a subsample of ETGs from the ATLAS3D survey. In this subsample, a variety of H-alpha morphologies are observed including rotating disks and compact/extended filaments. Our analysis of the stellar kinematics shows ETGs with coupled and decoupled motion between the gaseous and stellar populations. Furthermore, we report on this sample's wide range of cold molecular gas masses traced through IRAM 30m observations, and hot X-ray halos observed by Chandra. This diverse collection of archival multiwavelength data offers an opportunity to test the effects of AGN feedback in elliptical galaxies.
