The JWST Proto-PAH Project: Detection of the methyl radical CH in the highly evolved C-rich object SMP LMC 011

Jialu Li, D. A. García-Hernández, A. Manchado +17

We report the first detection of the neutral methyl radical CH in a highly evolved C-rich object, SMP LMC 011, using JWST MIRI/MRS. CH is well fitted by an excitation tempe…

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…

The Nearby Evolved Stars Survey (NESS) V: properties of volume-limited samples of Galactic evolved stars

I. McDonald, S. Srinivasan, P. Scicluna +23

We provide a meta-study of the statistical and individual properties of two volume-complete sets of evolved stars in the Solar Neighbourhood: (1) 852 stars from the Nearby Evolved…
