Multiphase Gas in Elliptical Galaxies: The Role of Type Ia Supernovae
Massive elliptical galaxies harbor large amounts of hot gas ( T ≳ 10 ^6 K) in their interstellar medium (ISM) but are typically quiescent in star formation. The jets of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) inject energy into the ISM, which offsets its radiative losses and ke...
