The 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 کاملAsteroseismic versus Gaia distances: A first comparison
Context. The Kepler space mission led to a large number of high-precision time series of solar-like oscillators. Using a Bayesian analysis that combines asteroseismic techniques and additional ground-based observations, the mass, radius, luminosity, and distance of these stars can be estimated with good precision. This has given a new impetus to the research field of galactic archeology. Aims. ...
متن کاملExtragalactic Distances from Planetary Nebulae
The [O III] λ5007 planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF) occupies an important place on the extragalactic distance ladder. Since it is the only method that is applicable to all the large galaxies of the Local Supercluster, it is uniquely useful for cross-checking results and linking the Population I and Population II distance scales. We review the physics underlying the method, demonstrate...
متن کاملHST / NICMOS Imaging of the Planetary Nebula
Images of Hubble 12 were obtained with the HST/NICMOS instrument in the F110W, F164N, and F166N filters of NIC1, and the F160W, F187N, F190N, F212N, F215N filters of NIC2. The images show the structure of the inner “torus” and lobes much clearer than previous ground-based images. In particular, the [Fe II] lobes are clearly resolved and shown to be distinct from the H2 emission structures. Appa...
متن کاملFormation of Planetary Nebula Lobes by Jets
I conduct an analytical study of the interaction of jets, or a collimated fast wind (CFW), with a previously blown asymptotic giant branch (AGB) slow wind. Such jets (or CFWs) are supposedly formed when a compact companion, a main sequence star or a white dwarf, accretes mass from the AGB star, forms an accretion disk, and blows two jets. This type of flow, which is thought to shape bipolar pla...
