STIS spectroscopy of the emission<br />

l<strong>in</strong>e gas <strong>in</strong> the nuclei of nearby<br />

FR-I galaxies<br />

This chapter orig<strong>in</strong>ally appeared as part of Noel-Storr et al. (2003).<br />

3.1 Introduction<br />

We present the results of the analysis of a set of medium resolution spectra, obta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

by the Space Telescope Imag<strong>in</strong>g Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope,<br />

of the emission l<strong>in</strong>e gas present <strong>in</strong> the nuclei of a complete sample of 21 nearby, early-<br />

type galaxies with radio jets (the UGC FR-I Sample). For each galaxy nucleus we<br />

present spectroscopic data <strong>in</strong> the region of Hα <strong>and</strong> the derived k<strong>in</strong>ematics.<br />
