(Abridged) Results from the first dedicated study of Galactic PNe by means of optical integral field spectroscopy with the VLT FLAMES Argus IFU are presented. Three typical Galactic-disk PNe have been mapped with the 11.5''x7.2'' Argus…
The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) has acquired tens of millions of low-resolution spectra of stars. This paper investigated the parameter estimation problem for these spectra. To this end, we proposed a…
The structure of the dusty circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) of proto-planetary nebulae (PPNs) reveals the mass-loss history of these sources and how such histories may differ for elliptical (SOLE) and bipolar (DUPLEX) PPNs. To study the PPN…
High resolution spectroscopy with FUSE and STIS of atomic and molecular velocity stratification in the nebular outflow of M27 challenge models for the abundance kinematics in planetary nebulae. The simple picture of a very high speed (~…
Context: GR290 (M33 V0532=Romano's star) is a luminous M33 object undergoing photometric variability typical for luminous blue variable (LBV) stars. It lies inside Wolf-Rayet region in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram and possesses a WN8…
Planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Magellanic Clouds (LMC, SMC) offer a unique opportunity to study both the population and evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars in an environment which is free of the distance scale bias that hinder…
We present a preliminary analysis of the small-scale structure found in new 70-520 micron continuum maps of the Rosette molecular cloud (RMC), obtained with the SPIRE and PACS instruments of the Herschel Space Observatory. We find 473…
