JWST/NIRCam Imaging of the Bipolar Planetary Nebula NGC 6537: The (Infra)red Spider, Revealed
The Astrophysical JournalWe present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) Br α , H _2 , [Fe ii ], and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) imaging of the molecule-rich, high-excitation bipolar planetary nebula (PN) NGC 6537 (the Red Spider ...

Optical Spectroscopy and Photoionization Model of Planetary Nebula NGC 6572
Journal of Mathematical and Fundamental SciencesWe investigated NGC 6572 through optical spectroscopy to determine its kinematical and chemical properties. Two intermediate dispersion spectra (R~5000) centered around Hα and Hβ were used to derive the nebular expansion velocity from emission lines ...

Nebula-Relay Hypothesis: The Chirality of Biological Molecules in Molecular Clouds
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 The chiral puzzle of biological molecules is thought to be closely related to the origin of life and is still a mystery so far. Previously, we proposed a new model on the origin of life, Nebula-Relay hypothesis, which assumed that the life on Earth ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We have studied the evolution of HuBi 1–like planetary nebulae, considering several stages of mass injection. We have carried out numerical ionization+1D hydrodynamics+atomic/ionic rate models with our code Coral1d to reproduce planetary nebulae that ...

The Effect of Superpositions on the Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Planetary nebula (PN) surveys in systems beyond ∼10 Mpc often find high-excitation, point-like sources with [O iii ] λ 5007 fluxes greater than the apparent bright-end cutoff of the planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF).

WORKPLANS: Workshop on Planetary Nebula Observations
Galaxies, 2020 This workshop is the second of the WORKPLANS series, which we started in 2016. The main goal of WORKPLANS is to build up a network of planetary nebulae (PNe) experts to address the main open questions in the field of PNe research.

Galaxies, 2018 The increase in discovered close binary central stars of planetary nebulae is leading to a sufficiently large sample to begin to make broader conclusions about the effect of close binary stars on common envelope evolution and planetary nebula formation ...

Shaping of Planetary Nebulae by Exoplanets
Galaxies, 2020 (1) Background: We investigate the hypothesis that exoplanet engulfment can help explain the observed non-spherical planetary nebula population, as a complementary shaping mechanism to the binary hypothesis.

M 1–92 Revisited: New Findings and Open Questions: New NOEMA Observations of Minkowski’s Footprint
Galaxies, 2022 PN M 1–92, also known as Minkowski’s Footprint, is a textbook example of a massive pre-planetary nebula. It presents all the characteristics of this type of source: non-spherical symmetry (bipolar cylindrical symmetry in this case), high-velocity gas ...

ABOUT TEMPERATURE FIELDS AND CONDITIONS OF GASEOUS CONDENSATION OF NEBULAES IN THE PLANETARY VORTEX
Vìsnik Dnìpropetrovsʹkogo Unìversitetu: Serìâ Modelûvannâ, 2014 New exact solution of the spherically-axissymmetric Eiler's equations, called as planetary vortex, is applied to the problem of formation in planetary nebula germs of planets due to the condensation of gases in the areas of vortex instability which ...
