CharlaAre magnetic fields shaping PNe?
This question is important because a large fraction of planetary nebulae (about 80%) are bipolar or elliptical rather than spherically symmetric. Modern...

PublicaciónAre Temperature Fluctuations Out There?
The effect of temperature fluctuations in the spectra of ionized nebulae was firstly explored by Peimbert (1967). Since then, the problem of their existence has...

PublicaciónAutomatic spectral classification of stellar spectra with low signal-to-noise ratio using artificial neural networks
Context. As part of a project aimed at deriving extinction-distances for thirty-five planetary nebulae, spectra of a few thousand stars were analyzed to...

PublicaciónAutomatic stellar spectral classification (Navarro+, 2012)
More than 2000 stars distributed in the field of view of 35 planetary nebulae, and 31 stars from the spectral catalog of Jacoby et al. (1984, Cat. III/92) were...

PublicaciónBinarity and the Abundance Discrepancy Problem in Planetary Nebulae
The discrepancy between abundances computed using optical recombination lines and collisionally excited lines is a major unresolved problem in nebular...

PublicaciónBinary Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae Discovered Through Photometric Variability. III. The Central Star of Abell 65
A growing number of close binary stars are being discovered among central stars of planetary nebulae. Recent and ongoing surveys are finding new systems and...

PublicaciónBinary central stars of planetary nebulae identified with Kepler/K2
We present the identification of 34 likely binary central stars (CSs) of planetary nebulae (PNe) from Kepler/K2 data, seven of which show eclipses. Of these, 29...

CharlaBinary stars as the key to understand planetary nebulae
Binarity and mass transfer appear to play a key role in the shaping and, most likely, in the formation of planetary nebulae (PNe), thereby explaining the large...
