The ATLAS(3D) project - XIX. The hot gas content of early-type galaxies: fast versus slow rotators
For early-type galaxies, the ability to sustain a corona of hot, X-ray-emitting gas could have played a key role in quenching their star formation history. A halo of hot gas may act as an effective shield against the acquisition of cold gas and can quickly absorb stellar mass loss material. Yet, sin...
