MUSE Imaging Spectroscopy of the Fullerene Planetary Nebula Tc 1
J. R. Walsh, M. J. Barlow, A. Monreal-Ibero +6
The planetary nebula Tc 1 (PN G345.2 -08.8), one of the rare group of Galactic PNe showing fullerene emission in the infrared, was observed with MUSE wide field mode with adaptive…
Detection of C Combination Bands in the Near-IR Spectrum of Tc 1
Morgan M. Giese, Vincent J. Esposito, Simon Van Schuylenbergh +26
We report the detection of a set of new near-infrared emission features between 3.5 and 5.2 m in JWST/NIRSpec observations of Tc 1, the planetary nebula known for displaying th…
Mid-infrared JWST spectra of carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
G. C. Sloan, B. Aringer, Kathleen E. Kraemer +11
Mid-infrared spectra from the Medium Resolution Spectrometer on the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed the molecular chemistry of carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud w…
JWST MIRI-MRS observations of the Red Rectangle: AIB class transformation in the outer nebula
A. Ebenbichler, P. Moraga Baez, A. Candian +8
Aims: We characterize the mid-infrared spectrum of the outer regions of the Red Rectangle nebula to probe the carbonaceous dust and molecular content beyond the circumbinary disk.…
Detection of CO ice in the planetary nebula NGC 6302
Charmi Bhatt, Simon W. Cao, Jan Cami +20
Using JWST/MIRI observations, we report the detection of CO ice in the dusty torus of the planetary nebula NGC 6302, an environment generally considered hostile to fragile mole…
Detection of CH3+ in the O-rich planetary nebula NGC 6302
Charmi Bhatt, Jan Cami, Els Peeters +33
Planetary nebulae are sites where ejected stellar material evolves into complex molecules, but the precise physical conditions and chemical routes that govern these processes are u…
