Scientific paper
The first two high signal-to-noise, broad bandpass x-ray spectra of elliptical galaxies were obtained with the Broad Band X-ray Telescope (BBXRT) as part of the December 1990 Astro mission. These observations provided unprecedented information on the thermal and metallicity structure of the hot interstellar media in two ellipticals: NGC 1399, the central galaxy in the Fornax cluster, and NGC 4472, the brightest galaxy in the Virgo cluster. The finalized analysis and interpretation of the approximately 4000 sec of BBXRT data on NGC 1399 is reported.
