JWST/NIRCam imaging of the Bipolar Planetary Nebula NGC 6537: the (Infra)red Spider, Revealed
Joel Kastner, Paula Moraga Baez, Bruce Balick +5
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) near-infrared (NIRCam) Br, H, [Fe II], and PAH imaging of the molecule-rich, high-excitation bipolar planetary nebula (PN) NGC…
Discovery of Radial Spectral Hardening in the Hot Bubble of Planetary Nebula BD+30 3639 with Median Energy Imaging
Rodolfo Montez
We introduce a new imaging analysis technique to study the spatial distribution of the X-ray emission from the hot bubble of planetary nebula BD+30 3639. Hot bubble emission is typ…
Planetary Nebulae and How to Find Them: Color Identification in Big Broadband Surveys
George Vejar, Rodolfo Montez, Margaret Morris +1
Planetary nebulae (PNe) provide tests of stellar evolution, can serve as tracers of chemical evolution in the Milky Way and other galaxies, and are also used as a calibrator of the…
Panchromatic HST/WFC3 Imaging Studies of Young, Rapidly Evolving Planetary Nebulae. II. NGC 7027
Paula Moraga Baez, Joel H. Kastner, Bruce Balick +2
The iconic planetary nebula (PN) NGC 7027 is bright, nearby (D ~ 1 kpc), highly ionized, intricately structured, and well observed. This nebula is hence an ideal case study for und…
Shocks and Photoionization of the Inner 650 AU Jet of the Interacting Binary Star R Aquarii from Multiwavelength Hubble Space Telescope Observations
Caroline D. Huang, Margarita Karovska, Warren Hack +3
Astrophysical jets are present in a range of environments, including young stellar objects, X-ray binaries, and active galactic nuclei, but their formation is still not fully under…
Herschel Planetary Nebula Survey (HerPlaNS): Hydrogen Recombination Laser Lines in Mz 3
Isabel Aleman, Katrina Exter, Toshiya Ueta +12
The bipolar nebula Menzel 3 (Mz 3) was observed as part of the \textit{Herschel} Planetary Nebula Survey (\textit{HerPlaNS}), which used the PACS and SPIRE instruments aboard the \…
