Scientific paper

The southern elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 is also a strong double-lobe radio source known as Fornax A. It has a well-defined dust lane and outer shells and loops that are signs of gravitational perturbations with one or several companion galaxies that NGC 1316 may have accreted. We have recently detected molecular gas corresponding to a total mass of 500 million solar masses in the area of the dust lane, and atomic gas associated with HII regions located more than 30 kpc away from the nucleus (Horellou et al. 2001).
