We propose to use Chandra to probe the unique early-type galaxy NGC 1266, in which we may be directly observing the truncation of star formation via feedback, taking advantage of Chandra's superior spatial and spectral resolution. We will combine a 30ks Chandra ACIS-S observation with our existing multi-wavelength suite of data and with detailed theoretical modeling. The X-ray data are an integral component in the analysis of this object and will provide information unavailable in other wavebands, including whether the source of NGC 1266's large-scale ouflow is an AGN or a starburst and how the outflow is affecting the galaxy's ISM. This information will thus enable a new and more nuanced understanding of the role of feedback in truncating star formation in early-type galaxies.
