Scientific paper

A faint, but extensive component of broad-line ionized gas has been discovered in the peculiar giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5128. This component has a radically different spatial distribution from the well-studied rotating photoionized gas associated with the dust lane although the velocity fields of the two components are similar. The origin of the broad-line gas is considered and its possible relation to the active nucleus and the X-ray jet discussed.
