Planetary nebulae hosting accreting white dwarfs: A possible solution for the mysterious cut-off of Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function?

D. Souropanis, A. Chiotellis, P. Boumis +2

Many binary companions to the central stars of planetary nebulae (PNe) are found to be inflated, perhaps indicating that accretion onto the central star might occur during the PN p…

Where are the missing symbiotic stars? Uncovering hidden Symbiotic Stars in public catalogues

Stavros Akras

Theoretical predictions of the population of Galactic symbiotic stars (SySts) are highly inconsistent with the current known population. Despite intense effort over the past decade…

The messy death of a multiple star system and the resulting planetary nebula as observed by JWST

Orsola De Marco, Muhammad Akashi, Stavros Akras +66

Planetary nebulae (PNe), the ejected envelopes of red giant stars, provide us with a history of the last, mass-losing phases of 90 percent of stars initially more massive than the…
