Chandra Early-Type Galaxy AtlasThe hot gaseous halos in early type galaxies play a crucial role in understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies. Structural features of the hot ISM identified by Chandra (including jets, cavities, cold fronts, filaments and tails) point to key evolutionary mechanisms, e.g., AGN feedback, merging history, accretion/stripping and star formation and its quenching. In this Chandra Galaxy Atlas project, we systematically analyze the archival Chandra data of 70 ETGs to study the hot ISM. Taking full advantage of the Chandra capabilities, we derive uniform data products of spatially resolved datasets with additional spectral information. We make these products publicly available and use them for our focused science goals.We use both ACIS-I and ACIS-S imaging observations with no grating. We limit the minimum exposure time at 10 ksec. For ACIS-I observations, we use data from the four front-illuminated chips, I0-I3 (CCDID=0-3), while for ACIS-S, we use data from the back-illuminated chip, S3 (CCDID=7) where the target lies and from the front-illuminated chip, S2 (CCDID=6) where the extended diffuse emission is often visible.
