Spectroscopy of Planetary Nebulae with Herschel: A Beginners Guide

Galaxies, 2018
A brief overview of the Herschel Space Telescope PACS and SPIRE spectrographs is given, pointing out aspects of working with the data products that should be considered by anyone using them.

Evidence for the Disruption of a Planetary System During the Formation of the Helix Nebula

The Astronomical Journal, 2022
The persistence of planetary systems after their host stars evolve into their post-main-sequence phase is poorly constrained by observations. Many young white dwarf systems exhibit infrared excess emission and/or spectral absorption lines associated with

Planetary nebulae in M32 and the bulge of M31: Line intensities and oxygen abundances [PDF]

, 1998
We present spectroscopy of planetary nebulae in M32 and in the bulge of M31 that we obtained with the MOS spectrograph at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. Our sample includes 30 planetary nebulae in M31 and 9 planetary nebulae in M32. We also observed one H II region in the disk of M31. We detected [O III]$\lambda$4363 in 18 of the planetary nebulae,

Three Stages in Evolution of the Object Th4-4

Galaxies
The results of observations of the object Th4-4 in 1970–2024 showed that during this period the object went through several stages, when its characteristics corresponded to different classes of objects: Be star, symbiotic star and planetary nebula ...

Spectral analysis of the binary nucleus of the planetary nebula Hen 2-428 – first results

Open Astronomy, 2018
Identifying progenitor systems for the double-degenerate scenario is crucial to check the reliability of type Ia supernovae as cosmological standard candles. Santander-Garcia et al. (2015) claimed that Hen 2-428 has a doubledegenerate core whose combined

Close Binaries and the Abundance Discrepancy Problem in Planetary Nebulae

Galaxies, 2018
Motivated by the recent establishment of a connection between central star binarity and extreme abundance discrepancies in planetary nebulae, we have carried out a spectroscopic survey targeting planetary nebula with binary central stars and previously ...

THE EMISSION-LINE DUSTY OBJECT IRAS 07080+0605, A LESS-EVOLVED EXAMPLE OF THE RED RECTANGLE

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2020
The all-sky survey conducted by the InfraRed Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) in the 1980’s discovered many objects with infrared excesses whose nature has not been explored until recently.

Planetary Nebulae Populations in External Galaxies [PDF]

, 2011
This review highlights the properties of the planetary nebulae in external galaxies as tracers of light, of the stellar population properties, and of the distances and kinematics of the parent galaxies. Recent results on the kinematics of the outer regions in giant elliptical galaxies and on the luminosity specific PN numbers (the \alpha\ parameter) in

Visual Wide Binaries and the Structure of Planetary Nebulae [PDF]

, 1999
In a recent work Ciardullo et al. (1999) list 19 planetary nebulae surveyed by the Hubble Space Telescope for the presence of resolved visual binary companions of their central stars. For ten planetary nebulae they argue for probable physical association of the resolved stars with the central stars, while for nine the association is less likely.

X-ray Shaping of Planetary Nebulae

Galaxies, 2018
The stellar winds of the central stars of planetary nebulae play an essential role in the shaping of planetary nebulae. In the interacting stellar winds model, the fast stellar wind injects energy and momentum, which are transferred to the nebular ...
