Planetary Nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a large and homogeneous sample of optical and UV observations of PNe and derive their abundances and the implications for the Intermediate Mass Stars (IMS) and Galactic chemical evolution. We observe the “hot bottom burning” (HBB) reaction, oxygen depletion (ON cycle) and/or production (likewise carbon) during the third dredge-up. All these effects are more efficient at lower metallicity. A strong warning is that oxygen can not be used to derive the initial composition of the progenitor star, but we have to use other elements like sulfur or argon.

متن کاملPlanetary Nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds
The proximity, accurately known distance and low line-ofsight reddening give the ideal circumstances to pursue studies of individual stellar populations in the Magellanic Clouds. Here we show how our understanding of the evolution and chemical composition of the planetary nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds has been impacted by imaging and UV spectroscopic studies using the Hubble Space Telescope....
متن کاملPlanetary Nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds
Selection effects in the search for planetary nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds have not seriously distorted the observed space distribution, but have affected the apparent excitation classes. A difference between the properties of the SMC and LMC planetaries remains. A group of high-excitation nebulae with strong lines of He and Ν has been isolated. If these are excluded, the helium abundance a...
متن کاملThe population of Magellanic Cloud planetary nebulae
In this review we address the progress that has been made toward the understanding the population of Magellanic Cloud planetary nebulae since the last Magellanic Cloud Symposium. Planetary nebulae in the Clouds are not only important as key probes of stellar and ISM evolution in these galaxies, but also reflect the evolution of AGB stars and beyond in lowmetallicity environments. We present the...
متن کاملMagellanic Clouds Planetary Nebulae: an Updated View on Stellar Evolution and Populations
El resumen será traducido al español por los editores. Planetary Nebulae (PNs) in the Magellanic Clouds are studied to understand stellar populations and evolution of lowand intermediate-mass stars in different chemical environments. Using HST observations from our LMC and SMC PN morphological survey and from the HST Data Archive, we look at the relations between PN morphology and their evoluti...
متن کاملPlanetary nebulae as probes of the chemical impact of AGB stars
Planetary nebulae (PN) represent the evolutionary fate of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stellar envelopes, thus are ideally suited to study the chemical impact of AGB stars. Stellar evolution predict elemental enrichment through the AGB evolution, and convective dredge-up episodes allow the products of stellar evolution to reach the stellar outer layers. Planetary nebulae are probes of thes...
