1209.6101 (Jeremy Mould et al.)

Infrared spectroscopy of nearby radio active elliptical galaxies    [PDF]

In preparation for a study of their circumnuclear gas we have surveyed 60% of a complete sample of elliptical galaxies within 75 Mpc that are radiosources. Some 20% of our nuclear spectra have infrared emission lines, mostly Paschen lines, Brackett gamma and [FeII]. We consider the influence of radio power and black hole mass in relation to the spectra. Access to the spectra is provided as a community resource.
