Spectroscopic Survey of Faint Planetary-nebula Nuclei. IV. The A35-type Central Star of Pa 27

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present optical spectroscopy of the 12th-magnitude central star of the planetary nebula (PN) Patchick 27 (Pa 27), obtained during a survey of faint PN nuclei (PNNs) with the Low-Resolution Spectrograph of the Hobby–Eberly Telescope.

Constraints on Noble Gas Variability in OIB and MORB From Non‐Equilibrium Magmatic Degassing Models

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Noble gas concentrations in ocean island basalts (OIB) and mid‐ocean ridge basalts (MORB) are affected by degassing processes, obscuring their pre‐eruptive characteristics. Degassing corrections commonly assume near‐equilibrium partitioning of noble gases between melt and vapor.

The ionization of galaxies by their planetary nebulae

open access: yes, 2011
International audienceRecent studies have shown that nuclei of planetary nebulae and their remnants (dubbed HOLMES for ``hot low-mass evolved stars'') can easily explain two long-standing problems of extragalactic astronomy: the observed emission-line ...

Formation of Asteroid (16) Psyche by a Giant Impact

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Asteroid (16) Psyche is the largest likely metal‐rich asteroid in the Solar System and the target of the NASA Psyche mission. The mission aims to determine whether the asteroid is the core of a differentiated planetesimal that lost its mantle via a giant impact.

Modeling enstatite chondrites: Reduced rocks with a pinch of oxidized material (affected by varying H2O(g)) derived from planetesimals shocked during the epoch of giant–planet migration

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 122-139, January 2026.
Abstract The O‐, N‐, Mo‐, Ru‐, Os‐, Cr‐, Ti‐, Ni‐, Fe‐, Nd‐, Ca‐, Zn‐, Sr‐, and Mg‐isotopic compositions of enstatite chondrites are essentially identical to those of the Earth and Moon. These correspondences suggest enstatite chondrites formed at ≈1 AU as the only known chondrite groups that accreted in the vicinity of a major planet. Bulk Earth has a

Planetary Nebulae and How to Observe Them

open access: yes, 2012
Astronomers' Observing Guides provide up-to-date information for amateur astronomers who want to know all about what is it they are observing. This is the basis of the first part of the book.

Periodic Variability of the Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae Surveyed through the Zwicky Transient Facility

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
A consensus has been reached in recent years that binarity plays an important role in the formation and evolution of a significant fraction of planetary nebulae (PNe).

Physiology of nitrogen: A life or death matter

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, Page 270-282, 1 January 2026.
Abstract With each breath, four out of every five molecules we inspire are nitrogen (N2), since this gas constitutes ∼80% of the atmospheric air that surrounds us. Despite its abundance and unlike molecular oxygen, N2 has traditionally held less appeal among physiologists given its lack of reactivity and corresponding inability to support combustion or

Determination of mass-loss rates of planetary nebulae nuclei using the first order moment of P Cygni line profiles. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
The authors conclude that the mass-loss rates of planetary nebulae nuclei derived by Cerruti-Sola, Perinotto (1985) have been systematically underestimated by one or nearly two orders of ...

Testing Cluster Membership of Planetary Nebulae with High-precision Proper Motions. II. HST Observations of PHR J1315–6555 in the Open Cluster AL 1 (ESO 96-SC04)

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Planetary nebulae (PNe) shown to be members of star clusters provide information on their properties and evolutionary histories that cannot be determined for PNe in the field, in particular the initial masses of their progenitor stars.
