Co-spatial Long-slit UV/Optical Spectra of Ten Galactic Planetary Nebulae with HST/STIS II. Nebular Models, Central Star Properties and He+CNO Synthesis

R. B. C. Henry, B. Balick, R. J. Dufour +5

The goal of the present study is twofold. First, we employ new HST/STIS spectra and photoionization modeling techniques to determine the progenitor masses of eight planetary nebula…

The Present and Future of Planetary Nebula Research. A White Paper by the IAU Planetary Nebula Working Group

K. B. Kwitter, R. H. Méndez, M. Peña +10

We present a summary of current research on planetary nebulae and their central stars, and related subjects such as atomic processes in ionized nebulae, AGB and post-AGB evolution.…

Metal-Rich PNe in the Outer Reaches of M31

Bruce Balick, Karen Kwitter, Romano Corradi +1

Spectroscopic data of two relatively [O III]-luminous-PNe have been obtained with the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias. M174 and M2496 are each ~1 degree from the center of M31 alon…

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Planetary Nebulae as Green Galactic Citizens

K. B. Kwitter, R. B. C. Henry

We review gas-phase abundances in PNe and describe their dual utility as archives of original progenitor metallicity via the alpha elements, as well as sources of processed materia…
