A Survey of the ISM in Elliptical Galaxies. I. The Ionized Gas
We present the results of an optical imaging survey of 73 luminous early-type galaxies directed to study the properties of their interstellar medium. We have found that a large fraction of E (72%) and S0 (85%) galaxies in our sample contain a measurable amount of ionized gas. The gas morphology appears to be rather smooth; however 12% of the sample
