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…
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…
JWST observations of the Ring Nebula (NGC 6720): III. A dusty disk around its Central Star
Raghvendra Sahai, Griet Van de Steene, Peter van Hoof +16
The planetary nebula NGC 6720, also known as the ``Ring Nebula", is one of the most iconic examples of nearby planetary nebulae whose morphologies present a challenge to our theore…
