Context: The commonly accepted mass-luminosity relation of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNs) might not be universally valid. While earlier optical analyses could not derive masses and luminosities independently (instead taking them…

Gamma-ray binaries emit most of their radiated power beyond ~10 MeV. The non-thermal emission is thought to arise from the interaction of the relativistic wind of a rotation-powered pulsar with the stellar wind of its massive (O or Be)…

We present a comprehensive study of Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) spectra (912-1190 A) of two members of the PG1159 spectral class, which consists of hydrogen-deficient (pre-) white dwarfs with effective temperatures in the…

We use synthetic model spectra to investigate the potential of near-ultraviolet (3000-4050 \r{A}) observations of massive O-type stars. We highlight the He I $\lambda$3188 and He II $\lambda$3203 pair as a potential temperature diagnostic…

In the last decade, ground-based Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes have discovered about 175 very-high-energy (VHE; $E >$ 100 GeV) gamma-ray sources, with more to follow with the development of H.E.S.S. II and CTA. Nearly 40 of these…

We present results of more than 13 years of Fermi-LAT data analysis for the Vela pulsar from 60 MeV to 100 GeV and its pulsar wind nebula (PWN), Vela-X, for E > 1 GeV in the off-pulse phases. We find the Vela-X PWN can be best characterized…

We present new results from our spectral analyses of very hot central stars achieved since the last IAU Symposium on planetary nebulae held in Canberra 2001. The analyses are mainly based on UV and far-UV spectroscopy performed with the…

We present the first results from CECILIA, a Cycle 1 JWST NIRSpec/MSA program that uses ultra-deep ~30 hour G235M/F170LP observations to target multiple electron temperature-sensitive auroral lines in the spectra of 33 galaxies at z~1-3.…

Recent studies of massive O-type stars present clear evidences of inhomogeneous and clumped winds. O-type (H-rich) central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNs) are in some ways the low mass-low luminosity analogous of those massive stars. In…

We present the ultraviolet (UV) imaging observation of planetary nebulae (PNe) using archival data of Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX). We found 358 PNe detected by GALEX in near-UV (NUV). We have compiled a catalogue of 108 extended PNe…

We present the final results of an imaging and spectroscopic search for stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with C II 7231, 7236 emission lines. The goal is to identify and study [WC11] stars, the coolest of the low-mass Wolf-Rayet…

Aims: Following our comprehensive studies of the WR stars in the Milky Way, we now present spectroscopic analyses of almost all known WN stars in the LMC. Methods: For the quantitative analysis of the wind-dominated emission-line spectra,…

We present deep spectroscopy of three Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) with large abundance discrepancy factors (ADFs): NGC6153, M1-42 and Hf2-2. The spectra were obtained with VLT/UVES and cover the whole optical range (3040-11,000 A) with…

We report optical and near-infrared spectra of the central star of the radio source G79.29+0.46, a candidate luminous blue variable. The spectra contain numerous narrow (FWHM < 100 km/s emission lines of which the low-lying hydrogen lines…

Accurate emission line fluxes from planetary nebulae (PNe) provide important constraints on the nature of the final phases of stellar evolution. Large, evolved PNe may trace the latest stages of PN evolution, where material from the AGB…

Our ongoing spectroscopic survey of faint planetary-nebula nuclei (PNNi) has revealed 30 new hydrogen-deficient central stars. The majority of them (21) belong to the PG1159 spectral class (having He-C-O-dominated atmospheres). They…

We study the stellar and wind properties of massive stars in the central cluster of the Galaxy. We use non-LTE atmosphere models including winds and line-blanketing to fit their H and K band spectra obtained with the 3D spectrograph SINFONI…

We derive the stellar and circumstellar parameters of the Galactic compact planetary nebula Hen 2-90 with two models: the classical constant density nebula model where the emission (especially of the forbiden lines) is formed in a sphere or…

We present a new model atmosphere analysis of nine central stars of planetary nebulae. This study is based on a new generation of realistic stellar model atmospheres for hot stars; state-of-the-art, hydrodynamically consistent, spherically…

To diagnose the time-variable structure in the fast winds of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPN), we present an analysis of P Cygni line profiles in FUSE satellite far-UV spectroscopic data. Archival spectra are retrieved to form…
