A disc inside the bipolar planetary nebula M2-9⋆
Aims. Bipolarity in proto-planetary and planetary nebulae is associated with events occurring in or around their cores. Past infrared observations have revealed the presence of dusty structures around the cores, many in the form of discs. Characterising those dusty discs provides invaluable constraints on the physical processes that govern the final mass expulsion of intermediate mass stars. We...
متن کاملar X iv : a st ro - p h / 01 07 55 4 v 1 2 8 Ju l 2 00 1 – 1 – WHY EVERY BIPOLAR PLANETARY NEBULA IS ‘ UNIQUE ’
We present the many evolutionary routes that progenitors of bipolar planetary nebulae (BPNe) can take. Overall, there are about a hundred qualitatively different evolutionary routes, hence about a hundred qualitatively different types of BPNe. Within each type there are quantitative differences as well. Adding the dependence of the appearance on inclination, we find that the number of different...
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 کاملWhy Every Theory of Luck is Wrong
There are three theories of luck in the literature, each of which tends to appeal to philosophers pursuing different concerns. These are the probability, modal, and control views. I will argue that all three theories are irreparably defective; not only are there counterexamples to each of the three theories of luck, but there are three previously undiscussed classes of counterexamples against t...
متن کاملThe symmetric dust shell and the central star of the bipolar planetary nebula NGC 6537 ⋆ †
We present high-resolution images of the strongly bipolar planetary nebula NGC 6537, obtained with Hubble Space Telescope and with the infrared adaptive optics system on the Very Large Telescope. The central star is detected for the first time. Using the multi-band photometry and constraints from the dynamical age of the neb-ula, we derive a temperature in the range 1.5–2.5×10 5 K, a luminosity...
