K 1-6 is a photoionised ISM nebula shaped by a fast-moving hot white dwarf in a triple system

Jaroslav Merc, David Jones, Ana Escorza +22

K 1-6 has long been classified as a planetary nebula (PN) hosting a binary central star, yet it has remained poorly studied due to its faintness. The central star exhibits pronounc…

Analysis of Planetary Nebulae in the Milky Way: Physical Properties, Chemical Abundances, and Galactic Distributions

N. Erzincan, N. Aksaker, A. Akyuz +1

In this study, we investigate the physical and chemical properties of planetary nebulae (PNe) from the Milky Way Galaxy using the largest number of sources to date, with 1,449 True…

First Discovery and Confirmation of PN Candidates Found from AI and Deep Learning Techniques Applied to VPHAS+ Survey Data

Yushan Li, Quentin Parker, Peng Jia

Context. We have developed deep learning (DL) and AI-based tools to search extant narrow-band wide-field H surveys of the Galactic Plane for elusive planetary nebulae (PNe) whic…

A Catalogue of Planetary Nebulae Chemical Abundances in the Galactic Bulge

Shuyu Tan, Quentin A. Parker, Albert A. Zijlstra +1

In this, the third of a series of papers, we present well determined chemical abundances for 124 Planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Galactic bulge from deep, long-slit FORS2 spectra fr…

Coma Berenices: first evidence for incomplete vertical phase-mixing in local velocity space with RAVE - confirmed with Gaia DR2

G. Monari, B. Famaey, I. Minchev +15

Before the publication of the Gaia DR2 we confirmed with RAVE and TGAS an observation recently made with the GALAH survey by Quillen ey al. concerning the Coma Berenices moving gro…

The Hα surface brightness - radius relation: a robust statistical distance indicator for planetary nebulae

David J. Frew, Q. A. Parker, I. S. Bojicic

Measuring the distances to Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) has been an intractable problem for many decades. We have now established a robust optical statistical distance indicato…
