We have investigated the properties of the diffuse light in the Virgo Cluster core region, based on the detection of intracluster planetary nebulae (PNs) in...
Intracluster Stellar Population Properties from N-Body Cosmological Simulations. I. Constraints at z = 0
We use a high-resolution collisionless simulation of a Virgo-like cluster in a ΛCDM cosmology to determine the velocity and clustering properties of the diffuse...
Ionization correction factors for sodium, potassium, and calcium in planetary nebulae
We use a large grid of photoionization models that are representative of observed planetary nebulae (PNe) to derive ionization correction factors (ICFs) for...
IPHAS and the symbiotic stars. I. Selection method and first discoveries
Context: The study of symbiotic stars is essential to understand important aspects of stellar evolution in interacting binaries. Their observed population in...
IPHAS and the symbiotic stars. III. New discoveries and their IR spectral energy distributions
Context. The IPHAS Hα survey provides a rich database to search for emission-line sources in the northern Galactic plane. Aims: We are systematically searching...
Aims: The determination of reliable distances to planetary nebulae (PNe) is a major difficulty in the study of this class of objects in the Galaxy. The...
IPHASX J052531.2+281946: a new Planetary Nebula towards the Galactic Anticentre
A planetary nebula has been discovered in the course of the INT/WFC Photometric Hα Survey (IPHAS) of the northern galactic plane. It is located near the...
IRAS 06562-0337 - Final mass-loss episodes before the formation of a planetary nebula?
The onset of forbidden line emission in the spectrum of a proto-planetary nebula has been detected for the first time in the lapse of only two years. IRAS 06562...
IRAS 16455-3455 and IRAS 15154-5258 - Two new southern planetary nebulae
The identification of two new southern planetary nebulae, IRAS 16455-3455 and IRAS 15154-5258, via low resolution spectroscopy, is reported. IRAS 16455-3455 is...
