The importance of long-period binaries for the formation and evolution of planetary nebulae is still rather poorly understood, which in part is due to the lack...

PublicaciónThe low-excitation structures of planetary nebulae
The low excitation properties of the planetary nebula (PN) NGC 6720 are known to be unusual, and to imply large ring/core emission ratios. We point out that...

PublicaciónThe mixed chemistry phenomenon in Galactic Bulge PNe
Aims: We investigate the dual-dust chemistry phenomenon in planetary nebulae (PNe) and discuss reasons for its occurrence, by analyzing Spitzer/IRS spectra of a...

PublicaciónThe Morpho-kinematics of Planetary Nebulae with Binary Central Stars
It is now clear that a binary formation pathway is responsible for a significant fraction of planetary nebulae, and this increased sample of known binaries...

PublicaciónThe multiple-shell structure of the planetary nebula NGC 6751
An intriguing bipolar mass outflow and a faint envelope were detected spectroscopically in the planetary nebula NGC 6751 by Gieseking and Solf (1986). To study...

PublicaciónThe MUSE view of the planetary nebula NGC 3132
Aims: Two-dimensional spectroscopic data for the whole extent of the NGC 3132 planetary nebula have been obtained. We deliver a reduced data-cube and high...

PublicaciónThe nature and structure of the emission line nebula K3-35: a very young planetary nebula with precessing bipolar jet-like outflows?
We present Hα, [NII]6583 and 6-cm continuum images of the emission line nebula K3-35. The optical images reveal an extended nebula (size ~=11x9arcsec^2 in [NII]...

PublicaciónThe Nature of Dust in Compact Galactic Planetary Nebulae from Spitzer Spectra
We present the Spitzer/Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) spectra of 157 compact Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe). These young PNe provide insight on the effects of...

PublicaciónThe Nature of Low-Ionization Microstructures in PNe
We discuss here the nature of a rich zoo of knots, filaments, jets and jet-like systems, located--in terms of morphology and kinematics--either inside or...
