A search for very young Planetary Nebulae
Despite numerous efforts, the transition from Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars to Planetary Nebulae (PN) is a poorly understood phase of stellar evolution. We have therefore carried out interferometric (VLA) radio observations of a sample of hot post-AGB stars, selected on the basis of their optical and infrared properties. Ten sources out of the 16 observed were detected. This indicates tha...
متن کاملDetection of C60 and C70 in a young planetary nebula.
In recent decades, a number of molecules and diverse dust features have been identified by astronomical observations in various environments. Most of the dust that determines the physical and chemical characteristics of the interstellar medium is formed in the outflows of asymptotic giant branch stars and is further processed when these objects become planetary nebulae. We studied the environme...
متن کاملThe 3 - D shaping of NGC 6741 : a massive , fast - evolving Planetary Nebula
We infer the gas kinematics, diagnostics and ionic radial profiles, distance and central star parameters, nebular photo-ionization model, spatial structure and evolutionary phase of the Planetary Nebula NGC 6741 by means of long-slit ESO NTT+EMMI high-resolution spectra at nine position angles, reduced and analysed according to the tomographic and 3-D methodologies developed at the Astronomical...
متن کاملThe Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function
The [O III] λ5007 planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF) occupies an important place on the extragalactic distance ladder: it is the only standard candle that can be applied to all the large galaxies of the Local Supercluster. We review the method’s precision, and use it to show that the distance scale defined by Cepheids and the Surface Brightness Fluctuation method is likely too large by...
متن کاملWebo 1: a Young Barium Star Surrounded by a Ring-like Planetary Nebula
WeBo 1 (PN G135.6+01.0), a previously unrecognized planetary nebula with a remarkable thinring morphology, was discovered serendipitously on Digitized Sky Survey images. The central star is found to be a late-type giant with overabundances of carbon and s-process elements. The giant is chromospherically active and photometrically variable, with a probable period of 4.7 days; this suggests that ...
