Scientific paper

Isolated ellipticals provide a key 'control' sample for investigating environmental influences on hot gas halos. We have carefully defined such a sample and select three galaxies whose X-ray fluxes best suit them for Chandra observations. We aim to accurately define the discrete source component, and estimate the metallicity, temperature and mass of the hot gas. Surface brightness profiles will be compared to models and to ellipticals in denser environments, revealing the signatures of stripping or ICM containment.
