The temperature structure of dusty planetary nebulae
We have analyzed the effects of photoelectric heating by dust grains in photoionization models of planetary nebulae. We have shown that this process is particularly important if planetary nebulae contain a population of small grains. The presence of such grains would solve a number of problems that have found no satisfactory solution so far: i) the thermal energy deficit in some objects inferre...
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 کاملThe Electron Temperature in Ionized Nebulae
We discuss the role of the electron temperature in abundance determinations in ionized nebulae (planetary nebulae and giant H II regions). We show that, even when observations provide a direct estimate of T e, abundance determinations may sometimes be significantly in error for reasons other than hypothetical temperature fluctuations or uncertainties in ionization correction factors, and we sho...
متن کاملIntracluster Planetary Nebulae
We review the progress of research on intracluster planetary nebulae (IPN). In the past five years, hundreds of IPN candidates have been detected in the Virgo and Fornax galaxy clusters and searches are also underway in poorer galaxy groups. From the observations to date, and applying the known properties of extragalactic planetary nebulae, the intracluster light in Virgo and Fornax: 1) is sign...
