s-process enrichment in the planetary nebula NGC 3918. Results from deep echelle spectrophotometry [PDF]
(Abridged) The chemical content of the planetary nebula NGC 3918 is investigated through deep, high-resolution UVES at VLT spectrophotometric data. We identify and measure more than 750 emission lines, making ours one of the deepest spectra ever taken ...

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

Modelling SNR G1.9+0.3 as a Supernova inside a Planetary Nebula [PDF]
Using 3D numerical hydrodynamical simulations we show that a type Ia supernova (SN Ia) explosion inside a planetary nebula (PN) can explain the observed shape of the G1.9+0.3 supernova remnant (SNR) and its X-ray morphology.

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

The planetary nebula nature and properties of IRAS18197-1118
IRAS18197-1118 is a stellar-like object that has been classified as a planetary nebula from its radio continuum emission and high [SIII]9532 to Paschen9 line intensity ratio, as derived from direct images.

A Compact X-ray Source and Possible X-ray Jets within the Planetary Nebula Menzel 3 [PDF]
We report the discovery, by the Chandra X-ray Observatory, of X-ray emission from the bipolar planetary nebula Menzel 3. In Chandra CCD imaging, Mz 3 displays hot (3-6x10^6 K) gas within its twin, coaxial bubbles of optical nebulosity, as well as a ...

The planetary nebula IPHASXJ211420.0+434136 (Ou5): insights into common-envelope dynamical and chemical evolution [PDF]
While analysing the images of the IPHAS (INT/WFC Photometric Hα Survey of the northern Galactic plane) survey, we noticed that the central star of the candidate planetary nebula IPHASXJ211420.0+434136 (also named Ou5) was clearly variable.

Close Binaries and the Abundance Discrepancy Problem in Planetary Nebulae
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 ...

An HST Snapshot Survey of Proto-Planetary Nebulae Candidates: Two Types of Axisymmetric Reflection Nebulosities [PDF]
We report the results from an optical imaging survey of proto-planetary nebula candidates using the HST. We exploited the high resolving power and wide dynamic range of HST and detected nebulosities in 21 of 27 sources.
