The Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function
The [O III] λ5007 planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF) occupies an important place on the extragalactic distance ladder: it is the only standard candle that can be applied to all the large galaxies of the Local Supercluster. We review the method’s precision, and use it to show that the distance scale defined by Cepheids and the Surface Brightness Fluctuation method is likely too large by...
متن کاملNew insights on the complex planetary nebula Hen 2 - 113 ⋆
We report infrared observations of the planetary nebula Hen 2-113 obtained with VLT/NACO, VLTI/MIDI, VLT/ISAAC and TIMMI at the ESO 3.6m. Hen 2-113 exhibits a clear ring-like structure superimposed to a more diffuse environment visible in the L' (3.8µm), M' (4.78µm) and 8.7µm bands. No clear core at 8.7µm and no fringes through the N band could be detected for this object with MIDI. A qualitati...
متن کاملHST / NICMOS Imaging of the Planetary Nebula
Images of Hubble 12 were obtained with the HST/NICMOS instrument in the F110W, F164N, and F166N filters of NIC1, and the F160W, F187N, F190N, F212N, F215N filters of NIC2. The images show the structure of the inner “torus” and lobes much clearer than previous ground-based images. In particular, the [Fe II] lobes are clearly resolved and shown to be distinct from the H2 emission structures. Appa...
متن کاملFormation of Planetary Nebula Lobes by Jets
I conduct an analytical study of the interaction of jets, or a collimated fast wind (CFW), with a previously blown asymptotic giant branch (AGB) slow wind. Such jets (or CFWs) are supposedly formed when a compact companion, a main sequence star or a white dwarf, accretes mass from the AGB star, forms an accretion disk, and blows two jets. This type of flow, which is thought to shape bipolar pla...
متن کاملCommon Envelope Evolution through Planetary Nebula Eyes
The common envelope interaction is responsible for evolved close binaries. Among them are a minority of central stars of planetary nebula (PN). Recent observational results, however, point to most PN actually being in binary systems. We therefore ask the question if it is feasible that most, or even all Galactic PN derive from a common envelope interaction. Our recent calculation finds that if ...
