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…
The Gaia All-Sky Stellar Parameters Service (GASPS)
I. McDonald, A. A. Zijlstra, N. J. Cox +1
Temperature and luminosity are the two key diagnostics of a star, yet these cannot come directly from survey data, but must be imputed by comparing those data to models. SED fittin…
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…
The JWST/MIRI view of the planetary nebula NGC 6302 I.: a UV irradiated torus and a hot bubble triggering PAH formation
Mikako Matsuura, Kevin Volk, Patrick Kavanagh +34
NGC 6302 is a spectacular bipolar planetary nebula (PN) whose spectrum exhibits fast outflows and highly ionized emission lines, indicating the presence of a very hot central star…
JWST observations of the Ring Nebula (NGC 6720) -- II. PAH emission
Nicholas Clark, Els Peeters, Nick L. J. Cox +16
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and carbonaceous dust have been observed in clumpy circumstellar environments, yet their formation and evolutionary pathways in such environ…
