Scientific paper

Results of a sensitive VLA survey of nearby E/S0 galaxies are presented. The 204 galaxies surveyed, plus 12 additional galaxies with existing VLA images, comprise a volume- and optical magnitude-limited sample. The discussion focuses on the relation between radio powers and optical luminosities, whether the radio emission is driven by an active nucleus or by recent star formation, and what galaxian properties might enhance nuclear activity in an elliptical galaxy. It is suggested that the 67 ellipticals in the sample should be targets of sensitive searches for HI, optical emission-line gas, and X-ray emitting gas.
