Imaging and Spectroscopy of the Planetary Nebula NGC 6778
نویسنده
چکیده
We present narrow-band images and long-slit echelle spectra of the planetary nebula (PN) NGC6778. The data show this PN as bipolar, with a very prominent low-excitation equatorial toroid, highexcitation lobes and two pairs of collimated outflows. Morphologically, the pairs of outflows are different from each other; one is linear and oriented along the bipolar axis, the other presents an S-shape with changing orientations. Besides the different morphology, both pairs of collimated outflows present radial velocities increasing with distance from the central star and share a common origin in bright knots at the tips of the shell.

Chandra X - ray Detection of a Hot Bubble within the Planetary Nebula NGC 5315
We report the serendipitous detection of the planetary nebula NGC 5315 by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The Chandra imaging spectroscopy results indicate that the X-rays from this PN, which harbors a Wolf-Rayet (WR) central star, emanate from a TX ∼ 2.5 × 10 6 K plasma generated via the same windwind collisions that have cleared a compact (∼ 8000 AU radius) central cavity within the nebula. Th...
متن کاملUsing Slitless Spectroscopy to study the Kinematics of the Planetary Nebula Population in M 94
The planetary nebula populations of relatively nearby galaxies can be easily observed and provide both a distance estimate and a tool with which dynamical information can be obtained. Usually the requisite radial velocities are obtained by multi-object spectroscopy once the planetary nebulae have been located by direct imaging. Here we report on a technique for measuring planetary nebula kinema...
متن کاملA hydrodynamical study of multiple - shell planetaries ?
We obtained deep imaging and high-resolution spectroscopy of the planetary nebula NGC 2438. In addition to the bright inner rim and the faint halo-like shell already known from previous imagery, our observations also highlight the existence of an even fainter large halo of nearly spherical shape. Analysis of the surface-brightness profiles and the line splitting indicates a clear ionization str...

The planetary nebula M94–20 in the Large Magellanic Cloud was serendipitously observed with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope as part of the Hubble Space Telescope Archival Pure Parallel Program. We present spatially resolved imaging and spectral data of the nebula and compare them with ground based data, including detection of several emission lines f...
