High-quality Spectrophotometry of the Planetary Nebula in the Fornax dSph⋆
We present results of NTT spectroscopy of the one known planetary nebula (PN) in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Fornax, a gas-deficient Local Group galaxy that stopped its star formation activity a few hundred million years ago. We detected the [O iii] λ4363 line with a signal-to-noise ratio of ∼22. For the first time we detected the weak [S ii] λλ6717,6731 lines (I(6717+6731) ≈ 0.01 I(Hβ)), deter...
متن کاملThe 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 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 کاملThe tetra - lobed planetary nebula NGC 1501
Direct imagery and long-slit, spatially resolved echellograms of the high excitation planetary nebula NGC 1501 allowed us to study in detail the expansion velocity field, the physical conditions (electron temperature, electron density, ionization) and the spatial distribution of the nebular gas. An electron temperature of 11500 K and a turbulence of 18 km s−1 are derived by comparing the Hα and...
متن کاملM ay 2 00 3 VLT Echelle Spectrophotometry of the Planetary Nebula NGC 5307 and Temperature Variations 1
Echelle spectrophotometry of the planetary nebula NGC 5307 is presented. The data consists of VLT UVES observations in the 3100 to 10360Å range. Electron temperatures and densities have been determined using different line intensity ratios. We determine the H, He, C, and O abundances based on re-combination lines, these abundances are almost independent of the temperature structure of the nebul...
