Scientific paper

A case involving elliptical galaxies which are imbedded in extended hot gaseous halos, which extend to radii much larger than the galaxies' optical radii, is discussed. The intergalactic H I gas clouds that are flying about an elliptical galaxy are considered. It is shown that these gas clouds are easily captured by elliptical galaxies by ram-pressure accretion due to circumgalactic hot gas.
