Surveying Planetary Nebulae Central Stars for Close Binaries: Constraining Evolution of Central Stars Based on Binary Parameters [PDF]
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 ...

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).

Planetary Nebulae: Sources of Enlightenment [PDF]
PASP, 134, Number 022001, 2022, 2021 In this review/tutorial we explore planetary nebulae as a stage in the evolution of low-to-intermediate-mass stars, as major contributors to the mass and chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium, and as astrophysical laboratories. We discuss many observed properties of planetary nebulae, placing particular emphasis on element abundance ...

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.

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 ...

The influence of planetary nebula gas density fluctuations to its emission line spectra
Вісник Астрономічної школи, 2000 The set of spheric-simmetrical photoionization models of planetary nebula luminescence for different radial gas density distributions for central stars temperatures T = 50000 K and T = 100000 K was created.

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.

A Preferred Orientation Angle for Bipolar Planetary Nebulae
Galaxies, 2020 We present preliminary results from measuring Galactic orientation angles of 766 elliptical and bipolar Planetary Nebulae (PNe) in the Hong Kong/Australian Astronomical Observatory/Strasbourg Observatory H-alpha Planetary Nebula research platform and ...
