Description
Image-dissector scanner observations of the emission-line spectrum of NGC 1052 are discussed. The scan of the elliptical galaxy NGC 584 is used to remove the integrated stellar absorption-line features from the spectrum of NGC 1052. The O iii lines indicate Tapprox. =33,000 K. The observed line intensities are consistent with shock-wave heating models by Cox
