ETHOS 1: a high-latitude planetary nebula with jets forged by a post-common-envelope binary central star
We report on the discovery of ETHOS 1 (PN G068.1+11.0), the first spectroscopically confirmed planetary nebula (PN) from a survey of the SuperCOSMOS Science...
Euclid preparation. XXVII. A UV-NIR spectral atlas of compact planetary nebulae for wavelength calibration
The Euclid mission will conduct an extragalactic survey over 15 000 deg 2 of the extragalactic sky. The spectroscopic channel of the Near-Infrared Spectrometer...
Evidence for binarity in the bipolar planetary nebulae A 79, He 2-428 and M 1-91
We present low and high resolution long-slit spectra of three bipolar planetary nebulae (PNe) with bright central cores: A 79, He 2-428 and M 1-91. He 2-428 and...
Evolutionary versus dynamical time scales for the evolution of the central stars of planetary nebulae
The disagreement between evolutionary and dynamical time scales for the evolution of the central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPN) through the H-R diagram is...
We have acquired narrowband imaging of NGC 3587 (the Owl Nebula) in the transitions [O II] λλ3727, 3729, H I λ4861, [O III] λ5007, H I λ6563, [N II] λ6584, [S...
Excitation mechanisms of C II optical permitted lines in ionized nebulae
Context. Carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the universe and its distribution is critical to understanding stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis. In...
Excitation of emission lines by fluorescence and recombination in IC 418
We compare calculated intensities of lines of C II, N I, N II, O I and O II with a published deep spectroscopic survey of IC 418. Our calculations use a self...
