Descripción
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 availability of new photometric surveys such
as IPHAS (the INT/WFC photometric Hα survey of the
northern Galactic plane) covering large portions of the sky provide an
opportunity to apply the so-called extinction method to determine the
distances of a large number of objects. Methods: The technique is
applied to a sample of 137 PNe located between -5 and 5 degrees in
Galactic latitude, and between 29.52 and 215.49 degrees in longitude.
The characteristics of the distance-extinction method and the main
sources of errors are carefully discussed. Results: The data on
the extinction of the PNe available in the literature, complemented by
new observations, allow us to determine extinction distances for 70 PNe.
A comparison with statistical distance scales from different authors is
presented.

Nebulosas Bipolares
Nuestro proyecto persigue tres objetivos principales: 1) Determinar las condiciones físico-químicas de las nebulosas planetarias con geometría bipolar y de las nebulosas alrededor de estrellas simbióticas. El fin es entender el origen de la bipolaridad y poner a prueba los modelos teóricos que intentan explicar la morfología y la cinemática nebular
