The neutral gas content of X-ray bright elliptical galaxies.

BRAINE J., HENKEL C. and WIKLIND T.

Abstract (from CDS):

Sensitive CO observations are presented for a sample of elliptical galaxies which are luminous X-ray and weak far infrared (FIR) emitters. Only non-detections were obtained. The absence of detectable amounts of CO (this includes the previously `detected' prototypical galaxy NGC4472) does not support those standard cooling flow scenarios in which dust grain sputtering reduces the FIR luminosity, while cooled down gas is forming a significant mass of dense molecular gas.
