Radio Continuum Spectra of Planetary Nebulae
Galaxies, 2018 Radio continuum emission of planetary nebulae is a rich source of information about their structure and physical parameters. Although radio emission is well studied, planetary nebulae show higher spectral indices than expected for homogeneous sphere.

Planetary Nebulae Research: Past, Present, and Future
GalaxiesWe review the evolution of our understanding of the planetary nebulae phenomenon and their place in the scheme of stellar evolution. The historical steps leading to our current understanding of central star evolution and nebular formation are discussed ...

A Preferred Orientation Angle for Bipolar Planetary Nebulae [PDF]
Galaxies, 2020 We present preliminary results from measuring Galactic orientation angles of 766 elliptical and bipolar Planetary Nebulae (PNe) in the Hong Kong/Australian Astronomical Observatory/Strasbourg Observatory H-alpha Planetary Nebula research platform and ...

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 ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We have studied the evolution of HuBi 1–like planetary nebulae, considering several stages of mass injection. We have carried out numerical ionization+1D hydrodynamics+atomic/ionic rate models with our code Coral1d to reproduce planetary nebulae that ...

The dynamics of Planetary Nebulae [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997 In this review we focus on new observations and theory that directly pertain to understanding the hydrodynamic evolution of planetary nebulae (PNe). The recent history of the field lead us to break the review into two parts, macroscopic and microscopic structures, since both the size scales and the dominant physics appear to cleave nicely into more-or ...

When the Stars Align: A 5σ Concordance of Planetary Nebulae Major Axes in the Center of Our Galaxy
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We report observations of a remarkable major axes alignment nearly parallel to the Galactic plane of 5 σ significance for a subset of bulge “planetary nebulae” (PNe) that host, or are inferred to host, short-period binaries. Nearly all are bipolar. It is

Infrared Observations of Planetary Nebulae and Related Objects
Galaxies, 2020 In this paper, I present how near and mid-infrared observations can be used for the study of planetary nebulae and related objects. I present the main observing techniques, from the ground and space, highlighting main differences and how they can be ...

Integral Field Spectroscopy of Planetary Nebulae with MUSE
Galaxies, 2020 The Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) is a large integral field unit mounted on the ESO Very Large Telescope. Its spatial (60 arcsecond field) and wavelength (4800–9300Å) coverage is well suited to detailed imaging spectroscopy of extended ...

X-ray Observations of Planetary Nebulae since WORKPLANS I and Beyond
Galaxies, 2020 Planetary nebulae (PNe) were expected to be filled with hot pressurized gas driving their expansion. ROSAT hinted at the presence of diffuse X-ray emission from these hot bubbles and detected the first sources of hard X-ray emission from their central ...
