Documenting microbial populations within the University of Alberta Meteorite Curation Facility using 16S rRNA gene sequencing: Implications for the curation of astromaterials

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Meteorites are easily contaminated at the Earth's surface by microbial activity. Here, DNA extracts from two meteorite specimens and samples from curation laboratory surfaces are analyzed with amplicon sequencing, to understand microbial communities that contaminate meteorites and that may be resident in curation facilities.

Planetary nebulae, tracers of stellar nucleosynthesis

open access: yes, 2006
We review the information that planetary nebulae and their immediate progenitors, the post-AGB objects, can provide to probe the nucleosynthesis and mixing in low and intermediate mass stars.

Abundances in Planetary Nebulae [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1989
Good progress has been made since the last Symposium on the determination of planetary nebulae (PN) abundances. Notable features for modern abundance determinations include the availability of good collision strengths and transition probabilities (reviewed by C.

Magnesium phosphate in the Cold Bokkeveld (CM2) carbonaceous chondrite

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Hydrous Mg‐phosphate was first described from astromaterials in particles returned from the C‐type asteroid Ryugu, and has subsequently been found in samples of the B‐type asteroid Bennu and CI1 carbonaceous chondrites. This phase may have been highly significant as a source of bioessential compounds for early Earth.

The morphology of dust emission in Planetary Nebulae and proto-Planetary Nebulae [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997
This review covers recent results from ground based mid-infrared (mid–IR; 8–25μm) imaging of thermal dust emission. The mid–IR images of proto–PNe show evidence for axially symmetric superwinds. In young PNe, the dust appears to be well mixed with the gas in the ionized gas regions.

Jungian categories as modes of reading: The case of Graham Greene's The Heart of the Matter and Aldous Huxley's Time Must Have a Stop

open access: yesOrbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay advocates renewed attention toward Jungian literary criticism, emphasizing its unique and creative perspectives on both fictional worlds and on reading. A fresh turn to Jungian criticism offers, in particular, valuable insight for texts on the peripheries of the canon.

The Planetary Nebulae Luminosity Function and distances to Virgo, Hydra I and Coma clusters

open access: yes, 2012
The luminosity function of planetary nebulae populations in galaxies within 10-15 Mpc distance has a cut-off at bright magnitudes and a functional form that is observed to be invariant in different galaxy morphological types.

The Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006
AbstractAlthough the method has no theoretical explanation, the [Oiii]λ5007Å planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF) is an extremely valuable tool for obtaining accurate (< 10%) extragalactic distances out to ~ 18 Mpc. Because the PNLF works in large galaxies of all Hubble types, it is one of the best tools we have for cross-checking the results

Imaging the transition between pre-planetary and planetary nebulae: integral field spectroscopy of hot post-AGB stars with NIFS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present 2 to 2.4 micron integral field spectroscopy of a sample of hot post-AGB stars with early-B spectral types, using the NIFS instrument on Gemini North. These stars are just beginning to ionize their immediate environments and turn into planetary
