Hot coronae around early type galaxiesRecent observational and theoretical investigations of hot gas coronae surrounding bright early-type galaxies are reviewed. Sample X-ray maps and plots of X-ray vs optical luminosity are provided, and individual studies are listed and briefly discussed. The data suggest that these galaxies (1) have massive halos, (2) have cooling flows near their cores, and (3) do not drive hot galactic winds. The potential of future space instruments such as Rosat and AXAF in characterizing early-type galaxies is indicated.
