A goal of the IPHAS survey is to determine the frequency and nature of emission-line sources in the Galactic plane. According to our selection criteria, K 3-22...
K 4-47: a planetary nebula excited by photons and shocks
K 4-47 is an unusual planetary nebula (PN) composed of a compact high-ionization core and a pair of low-ionization knots. Long-slit medium-resolution spectra of...
K4-55: A Bipolar Planetary Nebula Observed near Pole-on
A comprehensive study of the planetary nebula K4-55 is presented. In addition to CCD narrowband images, spatially resolved low-dispersion and high-resolution...
Context. The kinematics of planetary nebulae in external galaxies and in our own is a clue for understanding the behavior of the low- and intermediate-mass...
Kinematical Analysis of a Sample of Bipolar Planetary Nebulae
We present the kinematics of a sample of bipolar planetary nebulae (PNs) which cover a wide range of observed morphologies and collimation degrees, from bipolar...
Kinematical analysis of the galactic planetary nebulae M1-32
It is found that the planetary nebula M1-32, which has a [WC4-5] core, shows a peculiar kinematics with bipolar outflows reaching ±200 km/s, while the main body...
Knots in the Outer Shells of the Planetary Nebulae IC 2553 and NGC 5882
We present images and high-resolution spectra of the planetary nebulae IC 2553 and NGC 5882. Spatiokinematic modeling of the nebulae shows that they are...
Lessons from the ionised and molecular mass of post-CE PNe
Close binary evolution is widely invoked to explain the formation of axisymmetric planetary nebulae, after a brief common envelope phase. The evolution of the...
We present preliminary results of VLT spectroscopy follow-up of Planetary Nebulae (PNe) and HII regions in the dwarf Irregular galaxy NGC 3109. In total we have...
