Planetary Nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds: Probing Stellar Evolution and Populations [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2002
This review contains: (1) the scientific motivations for studying Planetary Nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds; (2) a review of this field of study, from the origins to the most recent results, focusing on the papers that have been published since the last IAU Symposium on Planetary Nebulae; (3) a review of the Hubble contribution to the field, from the ...

Ionization-bounded and Density-bounded Planetary Nebulae [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2009
Planetary nebulae (and in general any photoionized region) can be classified as ionization-bounded or density-bounded. It is important to determine in which case is the planetary nebula studied to be able to estimate from nebular observations, for example, the total rate of ionizing photons produced by the central star.

The Molecular Exoskeleton of the Ring-like Planetary Nebula NGC 3132

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present Submillimeter Array (SMA) mapping of ^12 CO J = 2 → 1, ^13 CO J = 2 → 1, and CN N = 2 → 1 emission from the ring-like planetary nebula NGC 3132, one of the subjects of JWST Early Release Observation near-infrared imaging.

Primer on Formation and Evolution of Hydrogen-Deficient Central Stars of Planetary Nebulæ and Related Objects

open access: yesGalaxies
We present a brief review of the formation and evolution of hydrogen-deficient central stars of planetary nebulae. We include a detailed description of the main observable features of both the central stars and their surrounding nebulae and review their ...

Outflowing Gas in the Planetary Nebula K 3-54

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
As planetary nebulae evolve, they develop slow and strong dust-driven stellar winds, making the joint study of dust and gas essential for understanding their nature.
