Binary stars as the key to understanding planetary nebulae [PDF]
Nature Astronomy, 2017 Planetary nebulae are traditionally considered to represent the final evolutionary stage of all intermediate-mass stars (∼0.7–8 M☉). Recent evidence seems to contradict this picture.

Observing the signatures of AGB s-process nucleosynthesis in planetary nebulae: An origins story
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 I relate an anecdotal history of the beginnings of a new initiative in studies of the chemical composition of planetary nebulae: namely, investigating abundances of elements beyond the iron-peak through infrared spectroscopy.

The Astrophysical Journal, 1987 We report the first detection of millimeter CO emission in two highly evolved planetary nebulae: NGC 6720 and NGC 7293. The CO is a useful probe of the structure and kinematics of the molecular gas in the nebulae, and provides an estimate of the mass of material which remains un-ionized by the central star.

Extended Structures of Planetary Nebulae Detected in H2 Emission [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 We present narrowband near-infrared images of a sample of 11 Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) obtained in the H2 2.122 μm and Brγ 2.166 μm emission lines and the Kc 2.218 μm continuum.

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 ...

Planetary Nebulae Shaped by Common Envelope Evolution [PDF]
Galaxies, 2018 The morphologies of planetary nebula have long been believed to be due to wind shaping processes in which a “fast wind” from the central star impacts a previously ejected envelope. It is assumed that asymmetries existing in the “slow wind” envelope would

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 ...

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

Planetary nebulae in M32 and the bulge of M31: Line intensities and oxygen abundances [PDF]
, 1998 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

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 ...
