   NGC 5322 is an elliptical galaxy whose optical colour and sub-structure
   (massive counter-rotating core; fine structure) make it a strong
   candidate for an ancient merger (~5 Gyrs ago) of two spirals (Schweizer
   and Seitzer 1992). Such candidate young ellipticals are rare, and their
   X-ray spectra tell us about the balance of energetics during a merger:
   is gas heated and lost in a wind, or retained as an X-ray bright halo
   or cooling flow?. The scatter in the X-ray-to-optical luminosity
   correlation for ellipticals may be explained by different formation
   processes, including merging of galaxy pairs. We will test for the
   presence and temperature of any hot gas in NGC 5322 with a deep ASCA
   observation. Joint spectral fits with ROSAT PSPC data will further
   constrain the spectrum.
