We present two-dimensional numerical simulations of the evolution of a low-mass star moving supersonically through its surrounding interstellar medium (ISM). We...
Recent variability of the central star of the planetary nebula NGC 2346.
The authors report photoelectric and CCD photometry of V651 Mon, the central star of the planetary nebula NGC 2346, made in April - May and November, 1992...
Recovering lenticular galaxies past histories using planetary nebulae kinematics: the case of NGC1023
We present a detailed study of the lenticular galaxy NGC 1023 kinematics. To perform this analysis we use planetary nebulae (PNe). which can be observed in the...
Common wisdom identifies hydrogen lines in photoionized region with recombination lines. However, these lines can also be excited by different atomic mechanisms...
"Using high resolution spectroscopic data obtained with Magellan Inamori Kyocera Echelle (MIKE) at the Magellan telescope at Las Campanas Observatory it was...
Revealing the Mid-Infrared Emission Structure of IRAS 16594-4656 and IRAS 07027-7934
TIMMI2 diffraction-limited mid-infrared images of a multipolar proto-planetary nebula IRAS 16594-4656 and a young [WC] elliptical planetary nebula IRAS 07027...
We present a search for rings or arcs in the haloes of planetary nebulae (PNe). We discovered such structures in eight PNe, tripling the sample of PNe with...
Rotating Stars and the Formation of Bipolar Planetary Nebulae. II. Tidal Spin-up
We present new binary stellar evolution models that include the effects of tidal forces, rotation, and magnetic torques with the goal of testing planetary...
s-process enrichment in the planetary nebula NGC 3918. Results from deep echelle spectrophotometry
The chemical content of the planetary nebula NGC 3918 is investigated through deep, high-resolution (R ˜ 40 000) UVES (Ultraviolet-Visual Echelle Spectrograph)...
