IC4663: the first unambiguous [WN] Wolf-Rayet central star of a planetary nebula

Brent Miszalski, Paul A. Crowther, Orsola De Marco +4

Several [WC]-type central stars of planetary nebulae (PNe) are known to mimic the spectroscopic appearance of massive carbon-rich or WC-type Wolf-Rayet stars. In stark contrast, no…

IC 4663: The first unambiguous [WN] Wolf-Rayet central star of a planetary nebula

B. Miszalski, P. A. Crowther, O. De Marco +4

We report on the serendipitous discovery of the first central star of a planetary nebula (PN) that mimics the helium- and nitrogen-rich WN sequence of massive Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars…

A barium-rich binary central star in Abell 70

Henri M. J. Boffin, B. Miszalski, D. J. Frew +4

We have found the central star of Abell 70 (PN G038.1-25.4, hereafter A 70) to be a binary consisting of a G8 IV-V secondary and a hot white dwarf. The secondary shows enhanced Ba…

A barium central star binary in the Type-I diamond ring planetary nebula Abell 70

B. Miszalski, H. M. J. Boffin, D. J. Frew +4

Abell 70 (PN G038.1-25.4, hereafter A 70) is a planetary nebula (PN) known for its diamond ring appearance due a superposition with a background galaxy. The previously unstudied ce…
