A detailed look at chemical abundances in the Magellanic Clouds
We determine elemental abundances of He, N, O, Ne, S, and Ar in Magellanic Cloud planetary nebulae (PNe) using direct methods and a large set of observed ions, minimizing the need for ionization correction factors. In contrast to prior studies, we find a clear separation between Type I and non-Type I PNe in these low-metallicity environments, and
