An Interacting Binary System Powers Precessing Outflows of an Evolved Star
Henri M. J. Boffin, Brent Miszalski, Thomas Rauch +5
Stars are generally spherical, yet their gaseous envelopes often appear non-spherical when ejected near the end of their lives. This quirk is most notable during the planetary nebu…
A carbon dwarf wearing a Necklace: first proof of accretion in a post-common-envelope binary central star of a planetary nebula with jets
Brent Miszalski, Henri M. J. Boffin, Romano L. M. Corradi
The formation of collimated outflows or jets in planetary nebulae (PNe) is not well understood. There is no evidence for active accretion disks in PNe making it difficult to decide…
The enigmatic central star of the planetary nebula PRTM 1
Henri M. J. Boffin, Brent Miszalski, David Jones
The central star of the planetary nebula PRTM 1 (PN G243.8-37.1) was previously found to be variable by M. Pena and colleagues. As part of a larger programme aimed towards finding…
Discovery of New Faint Northern Galactic Planetary Nebulae
Agnes Acker, Henri M. J. Boffin, Nicolas Outters +4
We present the discovery of 6 nebular objects made by amateur astronomers. Four of these discoveries are clearly planetary nebulae (PNe), one is a possible PN, and another is a lik…
The central Blue Straggler population in four outer-halo globular clusters
Giacomo Beccari, Nora Lützgendorf, Christoph Olczak +6
Using HST/WFPC2 data, we have performed a comparative study of the Blue Straggler Star (BSS) populations in the central regions of the globular clusters AM 1, Eridanus, Palomar 3,…
Discovery of Two Very Wide Binaries with Ultracool Companions and a New Brown Dwarf at the L/T Transition
Koraljka Muzic, Jacqueline Radigan, Ray Jayawardhana +11
We present the discovery and spectroscopic follow-up of a nearby late-type L dwarf (2M0614+3950), and two extremely wide very-low-mass binary systems (2M0525-7425AB and 2M1348-1344…
