SBS 1150+599A: an extremely oxygen-poor planetary nebula in the Galactic halo? [PDF]
We report results of a spectrophotometric study of SBS 1150+599A and discuss the nature of this object based upon our data. Our study shows that SBS 1150+599A is most probably a planetary nebula located in the Galactic halo and not a cataclysmic variable

A Preferred Orientation Angle for Bipolar Planetary Nebulae
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 ...

The Real-Time Evolution of V4334 Sgr
V4334 Sgr (Sakurai’s object) is an enigmatic evolved star that underwent a very late thermal pulse a few years before its discovery in 1996. It ejected a new hydrogen-deficient nebula in the process. The source has been observed continuously since,

Spatial Distributions of Multiple Dust Components in the PPN/PN Dust Shells [PDF]
We investigate spatial distributions of specific dust components in the circumstellar shells of a proto-planetary nebula candidate, HD 179821, and a planetary nebula, BD$+30^{\circ}$3639, by means of spectral imaging.

SMC SMP 24: A Newly Radio-Detected Planetary Nebula in the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
In this paper we report a new radio-continuum detection of an extragalactic planetary nebula (PN): SMC~SMP~24. We show the radio-continuum image of this PN and present the measured radio data.

Complex molecules in the Orion Kleinmann-Low nebula
In the framework of the delivery to the early Earth of extraterrestrial molecules, we have studied complex molecular species toward the Orion Kleinmann-Low nebula. This nebula is rich in molecules as well as in nascent stars and planetary systems.

Stable Nitrogen Isotope Analysis of Amino Acids by Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry: Application for Extraterrestrial Samples. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Obtaining isotopic data on soluble organic compounds, such as amino acids, in extraterrestrial samples is crucial for understanding their origins, prebiotic chemistry, and potential contamination. Conventional GC‐IRMS requires grams of material to measure isotopic compositions, limiting the analysis of low‐concentration organics in ...

Integral Field Spectroscopy of Planetary Nebulae with MUSE
The Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) is a large integral field unit mounted on the ESO Very Large Telescope. Its spatial (60 arcsecond field) and wavelength (4800–9300Å) coverage is well suited to detailed imaging spectroscopy of extended ...

Detecting Planets in Planetary Nebulae [PDF]
We examine the possibility of detecting signatures of surviving Uranus-Neptune-like planets inside planetary nebulae. Planets that are not too close to the stars, orbital separation larger than about 5 AU, are likely to survive the entire evolution of ...
