Near Infrared Spectra of Compact Planetary Nebulae
This paper continues our study of the behaviour of near infrared helium recombination lines in planetary nebula. We find that the 1.7007μm 4D–3P HeI line is a good measure of the HeI recombination rate, since it varies smoothly with the effective temperature of the central star. We were unable to reproduce the observed data using detailed photoionisation models at both low and high effective te...
متن کاملAn Infrared Survey of Neutron-capture Elements in Planetary Nebulae
We present results from an ongoing survey of the infrared emission lines [Kr III] 2.199 and [Se IV] 2.287 μm in Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe). Krypton and selenium may be produced by slow neutron-capture nucleosynthesis (the “s-process”) during the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase of PN progenitor stars, and brought to the surface by convective dredge-up before PN ejection. We detect emis...
متن کاملInfrared Imaging of Planetary Nebulae from the Ground Up
New ground-based telescopes and instruments, the return of the NICMOS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and the recent launch of the Spitzer Space Telescope have provided new tools that are being utilized in the study of planetary nebulae. Multiwavelength, high spatial resolution ground-based and HST imaging have been used to probe the inner regions of young PNe to determine their...
متن کاملPlanetary Nebulae
Planetary nebulae (PNe) can be used to trace intermediate and old stellar populations in galaxies and the intracluster medium out to approximately 20 Mpc. PNe can be easily identified with narrow-band surveys, and their chemical abundances and radial velocities can be measured with multi-slit or multi-fiber spectrographs. We briefly review what has been accomplished to date, and include tables ...
متن کاملPlanetary Nebulae Results from the Infrared Space Observatory
Observations with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) provide a means to assess important properties of the plasma in gaseous nebulae, including planetary nebulae (PNs). We present some results for average electron densities that have been determined from the flux ratios of several fine-structure, infrared emission lines. Because the ISO spectroscopic aperture was always at least as large as 1...
