Descripción
Nuestro proyecto persigue tres objetivos principales: 1) Determinar las condiciones físico-químicas de las nebulosas planetarias con geometría bipolar y de las nebulosas alrededor de estrellas simbióticas. El fin es entender el origen de la bipolaridad y poner a prueba los modelos teóricos que intentan explicar la morfología y la cinemática nebular, con especial énfasis en los modelos con estrellas binarias centrales. 2) Estudiar las microestructuras de baja excitación en las nebulosas planetarias, su origen (en relación con el proceso de formación de la propia nebulosa), sus propiedades físico-químicas y su interacción con el gas nebular. 3) Descubrir y estudiar nuevas nebulosas planetarias galácticas y extragalácticas. La meta es analizar sus propiedades físico-químicas e investigar los gradientes de composición química a lo largo de los discos galácticos.

The Chemistry of Planetary Nebulae in the Outer Regions of M31We present spectroscopy of nine planetary nebulae (PNe) in the outskirts of M31, all but one obtained with the 10.4 m GTC telescope. These sources extend our previous study of the oxygen abundance gradient of M31 to galactocentric radii as large as 100 kpc. None of the targets are bona fide members of a classical, metal-poor, and ancient halo. TwoHensley, K. et al.

New OB star candidates in the Carina Arm around Westerlund 2 from VPHAS+O and early B stars are at the apex of galactic ecology, but in the Milky Way, only a minority of them may yet have been identified. We present the results of a pilot study to select and parametrize OB star candidates in the Southern Galactic plane, down to a limiting magnitude of g = 20.

Witnessing the emergence of a carbon starDuring the late stages of their evolution, Sun-like stars bring the products of nuclear burning to the surface. Most of the carbon in the Universe is believed to originate from stars with masses up to a few solar masses. Although there is a chemical dichotomy between oxygen-rich and carbon-rich evolved stars, the dredge-up itself has never beenGuzman-Ramirez, L. et al.

Binarity and the Abundance Discrepancy Problem in Planetary NebulaeThe discrepancy between abundances computed using optical recombination lines and collisionally excited lines is a major unresolved problem in nebular astrophysics. Here, we show that the largest abundance discrepancies are reached in planetary nebulae with close binary central stars. We illustrate this using deep spectroscopy of three nebulae withCorradi, R. L.

Co-spatial Long-slit UV/Optical AL Spectra of 10 Galactic Planetary Nebulae with HST/STIS. I. Description of the Observations, Global Emission-line Measurements, and CNO AbundancesWe present observations and initial analysis from a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Cycle 19 program using STIS to obtain the first co-spatial, UV–optical spectra of 10 Galactic planetary nebulae (PNs). Our primary objective was to measure the critical emission lines of carbon and nitrogen with unprecedented signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and spatialDufour, R. J. et al.

The double-degenerate, super-Chandrasekhar nucleus of the planetary nebula Henize 2-428The planetary nebula stage is the ultimate fate of stars with masses one to eight times that of the Sun (). The origin of their complex morphologies is poorly understood, although several mechanisms involving binary interaction have been proposed. In close binary systems, the orbital separation is short enough for the primary star to overfill itsSantander-García, M. et al.

The Chandra Planetary Nebula Survey (ChanPlaNS). III. X-Ray Emission from the Central Stars of Planetary NebulaeWe present X-ray spectral analysis of 20 point-like X-ray sources detected in Chandra Planetary Nebula Survey observations of 59 planetary nebulae (PNe) in the solar neighborhood. Most of these 20 detections are associated with luminous central stars within relatively young, compact nebulae. The vast majority of these point-like X-ray-emittingMontez, R., Jr. et al.

A hydrodynamical study of multiple-shell planetary nebulae. III. Expansion properties and internal kinematics: Theory versus observationWe present the result of a study on the expansion properties and internal kinematics of round/elliptical planetary nebulae of the Milky Way disk, the halo, and of the globular cluster M 15. The purpose of this study is to considerably enlarge the small sample of nebulae with precisely determined expansion properties (Schönberner et al. \cite{SJSPCASchönberner, D. et al.

Constraining the shaping mechanism of the Red Rectangle through the spectro-polarimetry of its central starWe carried out high-sensitivity spectro-polarimetric observations of the central star of the Red Rectangle protoplanetary nebula with the aim of constraining the mechanism that gives its biconical shape. The stellar light of the central binary system is linearly polarised since it is scattered on the dust particles of the nebula. Surprisingly, theMartínez González, M. J. et al.

Gas physical conditions and kinematics of the giant outflow Ou4Context. The recently discovered bipolar outflow Ou4 has a projected size of more than one degree in the plane of the sky. It is apparently centred on the young stellar cluster - whose most massive representative is the triple system HR 8119 - inside the H ii region Sh 2-129. The driving source, the nature, and the distance of Ou4 are not knownCorradi, R. L. M. et al.

Planetary nebulae: the universal mass-metallicity relation for Local Group dwarf galaxies and the chemistry of NGC 205Here we study 16 planetary nebulae (PNe) in the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 205 by using Gemini Multi-Object Spectrographs (GMOS@Gemini) spectra to derive their physical and chemical parameters. The chemical patterns and evolutionary tracks for 14 of our PNe suggest that there are no type I PNe among them. These PNe have an average oxygen abundanceGonçalves, D. R. et al.

The planetary nebula IPHASXJ211420.0+434136 (Ou5): insights into common-envelope dynamical and chemical evolutionWhile analysing the images of the IPHAS (INT/WFC Photometric Hα Survey of the northern Galactic plane) survey, we noticed that the central star of the candidate planetary nebula IPHASXJ211420.0+434136 (also named Ou5) was clearly variable.

Upper Limits to the Magnetic Field in Central Stars of Planetary NebulaeMore than about 20 central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNs) have been observed spectropolarimetrically, yet no clear, unambiguous signal of the presence of a magnetic field in these objects has been found.
