Infrared spectroscopy of nearby radio active elliptical galaxies
  In preparation for a study of their circumnuclear gas we have surveyed 60% of
a complete sample of elliptical galaxies within 75 Mpc that are radiosources.
Some 20% of our nuclear spectra have infrared emission lines, mostly Paschen
lines, Brackett gamma and [FeII]. We consider the influence of radio power and
black hole mass in relation to the spectra. Access to the spectra is provided
as a community resource.
