Abstract
The hot phase of the ISM in nearby elliptical galaxies is observed to have temperatures in the range of 10 Mio degrees. While stellar wind and mass–loss by planetary nebulae are widely seen as the sources for the interstellar gas, there is no generally established model to explain the heating of the ISM (supernovae, AGN heating and collisions).
