Sh 2-188 is an example of strong interaction between a planetary nebula (PN) and the interstellar medium (ISM). Its structure is postulated to be the result of motion through the ISM. We present new H$\alpha$ images from the Isaac Newton…

The study of the interaction between solid objects and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluids is of great importance in physics as consequence of the significant phenomena generated, such as planets interacting with stellar wind produced by their…

The Owl Nebula is a triple-shell planetary nebula with the outermost shell being a faint bow-shaped halo. We have obtained deep narrow-band images and high-dispersion echelle spectra in the H-alpha, [O III], and [N II] emission lines to…
