- Description:
- We present 5-40um spectroscopy of 41 planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Magellanic Clouds, observed with the Infrared Spectrograph on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. The spectra show the presence of a combination of nebular emission lines and solid state features from dust, superimposed on the thermal IR continuum. By analyzing the 25 LMC and 16 SMC PNe in our sample we found that the IR spectra of 14 LMC and four SMC PNe are dominated by nebular emission lines, while the other spectra show solid state features.

- Description:
- We present the second part of an optical spectroscopic study of planetary nebulae in the LMC and SMC. The first paper, Leisy & Dennefeld (1996, Cat. <J/A+AS/116/95>), discussed the CNO cycle for those objects where C abundances were available. In this paper we concentrate more on other elemental abundances (such as O, Ne, S, Ar) and their implications for the evolution of the progenitor stars. We use a much larger sample of 183 objects, of which 65 are our own observations, where the abundances have been re-derived in a homogeneous way. For 156 of them, the quality of data is considered to be satisfactory for further analysis.

- Description:
- The Macquarie/AAO/Strasbourg H{alpha} Planetary Nebula Catalogue (MASH) contains 903 new true, likely and possible Galactic Planetary Nebulae (PNe) discovered from the AAO/UKST H{alpha} survey of the southern Galactic plane. The combination of depth, resolution, uniformity, and areal coverage of the H {alpha}survey has opened up an hitherto unexplored region of parameter space permitting the detection of this significant new PN sample. This catalogue includes also the spectra of the PNe as FITS files (in the "sp" subdirectory), and a gallery of images created as a combination of the H{alpha} and short red images of the survey. The second part, MASH-II (table mash2.dat) consists of over 300 true, likely and possible new Galactic PNe found after re-examination of the entire AAO/UKST H{alpha} survey of the Southern Galactic Plane in digital form. Over 240 of these new candidates were confirmed as bona fide PNe on the basis of spectroscopic observations. The spectra of this supplement will be available in the future.

- Description:
- We present an updated and newly compiled radio-continuum data base for Macquarie/AAO/Strasbourg H{alpha} (MASH) planetary nebulae (PNe) detected in the extant large-scale 'blind' radio-continuum surveys [NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS), Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey/Molonglo Galactic Plane Surveys (SUMSS/MGPS-2) and Parkes-MIT-NRAO (PMN)] and, for a small number of MASH PNe, observed and detected in targeted radio-continuum observations. We found radio counterparts for approximately 250 MASH PNe. In comparison with the percentage of previously known Galactic PNe detected in the NVSS and MGPS-2 radio-continuum surveys and according to their position on the flux density angular diameter and the radio brightness temperature evolutionary diagrams we conclude, unsurprisingly, that the MASH sample presents the radio-faint end of the known Galactic PNe population. Also, we present radio-continuum spectral properties of a small sub-sample of MASH PNe located in the strip between declinations -30{deg} and -40{deg}, that are detected in both the NVSS and MGPS-2 radio surveys.

- 2MASS photometry of galactic planetary nebulae

- Description:
- The recently published 2MASS all-sky infrared survey (<II/246>) includes JHKs photometry of over 300 million sources. It also provides sizes and aspect ratios for the ~0.55 per cent of objects that appear in the extended-source catalogue. Although most of these detections correspond to galaxies, stars, H II regions, young stellar objects, reflection nebulae and so forth, a number of them also appear to correspond to galactic planetary nebulae (PNe). We have used this survey to determine the near-infrared properties of some 325 known galactic PNe.

- Description:
- We present a detailed description of the wavelength, astrometric and photometric calibration plan for SITELLE, the imaging Fourier transform spectrometer attached to the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope, based on observations of a red (647-685nm) data cube of the central region (11'x11') of the Andromeda galaxy. The first application, presented in this paper, is a radial-velocity catalogue (with uncertainties of ~2-6km/s) of nearly 800 emission-line point-like sources, including ~450 new discoveries. Most of the sources are likely planetary nebulae, although we also detect five novae (having erupted in the first 8 months of 2016) and one new supernova remnant candidate.

- Description:
- M 2-9 is a young planetary nebula (PN) that shows the characteristics of its last ejections in unprecedented detail. These last ejections are thought to trigger the post-asymptotic giant branch evolution. To assemble an overall picture of how M 2-9 was shaped, we analyzed the characteristics of the different molecular gas components and their relation with the warmer parts of the nebula that are visible in the optical domain. ^12^CO and ^13^CO J=3-2 line emission maps were obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array with high angular-resolution and sensitivity.

- Description:
- With IRAM-30m/HERA, we have detected CO(2-1) gas complexes within 30arcsec (100pc) from the center of M31 that amount to a minimum total mass of 4.2x10^4^M_{sun}_ (one third of the positions are detected). Averaging the whole HERA field, we show that there is no additional undetected diffuse component. Moreover, the gas detection is associated with gas lying on the far side of the M31 center as no extinction is observed in the optical, but some emission is present on infrared Spitzer maps. The kinematics is complex. (1) The velocity pattern is mainly redshifted: the dynamical center of the gas differs from the black hole position and the maximum of optical emission, and only the redshifted side is seen in our data. (2) Several velocity components are detected in some lines of sight. Our interpretation is supported by the reanalysis of the effect of dust on a complete planetary nebula sample. Two dust components are detected with respective position angles of 37deg and -66deg. This is compatible with a scenario where the superposition of the (PA=37deg) disk is dominated by the 10kpc ring and the inner 0.7kpc ring detected in infrared data, whose position angle (-66deg) we measured for the first time. The large-scale disk, which dominates the HI data, is steeply inclined (i=77deg), warped and superposed on the line of sight on the less inclined inner ring. The detected CO emission might come from both components.

- Description:
- The oxygen abundance gradients among nebular emission line regions in spiral galaxies have been used as important constraints for models of chemical evolution. We present the largest-ever full-wavelength optical spectroscopic sample of emission line nebulae in a spiral galaxy (M31). We have collected spectra of 253 HII regions and 407 planetary nebulae (PNe) with the Hectospec multi-fiber spectrograph of the MMT. We measure the line-of-sight extinction for 199 HII regions and 333 PNe; we derive oxygen abundance directly, based on the electron temperature, for 51 PNe; and we use strong-line methods to estimate oxygen abundance for 192 HII regions and nitrogen abundance for 52 HII regions. The relatively shallow oxygen abundance gradient of the more extended HII regions in our sample is generally in agreement with the result of Zaritsky et al. (1994ApJ...420...87Z), based on only 19 M31 HII regions, but varies with the strong-line diagnostic employed. Our large sample size demonstrates that there is significant intrinsic scatter around this abundance gradient, as much as ~3 times the systematic uncertainty in the strong-line diagnostics. The intrinsic scatter is similar in the nitrogen abundances, although the gradient is significantly steeper. On small scales (deprojected distance <0.5kpc), HII regions exhibit local variations in oxygen abundance that are larger than 0.3dex in 33% of neighboring pairs. We do not identify a significant oxygen abundance gradient among PNe, but we do find a significant gradient in the [NII] ratio that varies systematically with surface brightness. Our results underscore the complex and inhomogeneous nature of the interstellar medium of M31, and our data set illustrates systematic effects relevant to future studies of the metallicity gradients in nearby spiral galaxies.

- Description:
- We report the results of a radial velocity survey of planetary nebulae (PNe) located in the tidal features of the well-known interacting system NGC 5194/95 (M51). We find clear kinematic evidence that M51's northwestern tidal debris consists of two discrete structures that overlap in projection - NGC 5195's own tidal tail and diffuse material stripped from NGC 5194. We compare these kinematic data to a new numerical simulation of the M51 system and show that the data are consistent with the classic "single-passage" model for the encounter, with a parabolic satellite trajectory and a 2:1 mass ratio. We also comment on the spectra of two unusual objects: a high-velocity PN that may be associated with NGC 5194's halo and a possible interloping high-redshift galaxy.
