Molecules in planetary nebulae [PDF]
The study of molecules in planetary nebulae is still in its infancy; therefore, it is appropriate both to review existing knowledge and to anticipate developments that will arise as the subject matures. Briefly stated, this subject consists of observations of hydrogen, H2, and carbon monoxide, CO, molecules in a very few nebulae; the tentative ...

Lessons from the Ionised and Molecular Mass of Post-CE PNe
Close binary evolution is widely invoked to explain the formation of axisymmetric planetary nebulae after a brief common envelope phase. The evolution of the primary would be interrupted abruptly, its still quite massive envelope being fully ejected to ...

The post-common-envelope, binary central star of the planetary nebula Hen 2-11 [PDF]
We present a detailed photometric study of the central star system of the planetary nebula Hen 2-11, selected for study because of its low-ionisation filaments and bipolar morphology – traits which have been strongly linked with central star binarity ...

THE CHANDRA PLANETARY NEBULA SURVEY (ChanPlaNS). II. X-RAY EMISSION FROM COMPACT PLANETARY NEBULAE [PDF]
We present results from the most recent set of observations obtained as part of the Chandra X-ray observatory Planetary Nebula Survey (ChanPlaNS), the first comprehensive X-ray survey of planetary nebulae (PNe) in the solar neighborhood (i.e., within ∼1 ...

A Dedicated Camera For Extragalactic Planetary Nebulae: The Planetary Nebula Spectrograph [PDF]
Photometry in [OIII] emission of Planetary Nebulae in external galaxies can be used to determine distances as great as that of the Virgo cluster and beyond, as forcefully argued elsewhere during this conference (G.H. Jacoby, invited talk). In addition, measurement of the radial velocities of the PN allows dynamical behaviour to be probed to much ...

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