We report an Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) radio-continuum observations of 26 planetary nebulae (PNe) at wavelengths of 3 and 6 cm. This sample of 26 PNe were taken from the Macquarie/AAO/Strasbourg Halpha PNe (MASH) catalogue…
Context. Planetary nebulae are shells ejected by low- and intermediate-mass stars. The slow wind ejected by the asymptotic giant branch star is compressed by a fast stellar wind to produce an expanding gaseous shell surrounding a hot…
A series of 13 Chandra observations provided the deepest images of the Vela PWN yet available. In addition to the fine structure of the inner PWN features, a much larger and fainter asymmetric X-ray nebula emerges in the summed images. The…
We investigated the abundance ratio of $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C in planetary nebulae by examining emission lines arising from \ion{C}{3} $2s2p ^3P_{2,1,0} \to 2s^2 ^1S_0$. Spectra were retrieved from the International Ultraviolet Explorer…
Weak emission-line quasars (WLQs) are a subset of Type 1 quasars that exhibit extremely weak Ly$\alpha +$N V $\lambda$1240 and/or C IV $\lambda$1549 emission lines. We investigate the relationship between emission-line properties and…
The Helix Nebula (NGC 7293) is the closest planetary nebulae. Therefore, it is an ideal template for photochemical studies at small spatial scales in planetary nebulae. We aim to study the spatial distribution of the atomic and the…
We present six new planetary nebulae (PNe) discovered in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) from deep UK Schmidt telescope (UKST) narrow band Halpha and broad-band short-red "SR" continuum images and confirmed spectroscopically. These 6…
We report detailed analyses of deep, high-resolution spectra of three Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) with high abundance discrepancy factors (ADFs), Hf2-2, M1-42 and NGC6153, obtained with the Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph…
Planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Magellanic Clouds (LMC, SMC) offer a unique opportunity to study both the population and evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars in an environment which is free of the distance scale bias that hinder…
We have carried out mid-infrared spectroscopy of seven Galactic proto-planetary nebulae (PPNs) using the Spitzer Space Telescope. They were observed from 10-36 microns at relatively high spectral resolution, R~600. The sample was chosen…
We investigate the efficacy of a systematic planetary nebula (PN) search in the Census of the Local Universe (CLU) narrowband (H$\alpha$) survey that covers a considerably larger sky region of above declination $-20^\circ$ than most…
We present the results of a study aimed at determining the 12C/13C ratio in two samples of planetary nebuale (PNe) by means of mm-wave observations of 12CO and 13CO. The first group includes six PNe which have been observed in the 3He+…
We present preliminary results of an optical survey for Planetary Nebulae (PNe) in the northern part of the Galactic Bulge. In particular, observations at wavelengths corresponding to the [O III] 5007 emission line have been carried out…
We present the first medium-resolution ($R\sim 600$) mid-infrared (8-13.3\micron) spectra of 11 Be stars. A large number of lines are observed and identified in these spectra, including, as an example, 39 hydrogen recombination lines in the…
The total number of true, likely and possible planetary nebulae (PN) now known in the Milky Way is nearly 3000, double the number known a decade ago. The new discoveries are a legacy of the recent availability of wide field, narrowband…
We present high-resolution, long-slit optical spectra and images of the planetary nebula NGC1514. The position velocity maps of the [OIII] emission line reveal complex kinematics with multiple structures. A morpho-kinematical analysis…
Diffuse radio recombination lines (RRLs) in the Galaxy are possible foregrounds for redshifted 21~cm experiments. We use EDGES drift scans centered at $-26.7^o$~declination to characterize diffuse RRLs across the southern sky. We find RRLs…
A survey of radio recombination lines (RLs) in the Galactic plane ($l = $ 332\deg $\to$ 89\deg) near 327 MHz made using the Ooty Radio Telescope (ORT) has detected carbon RLs from all the positions in the longitude range 0\deg $< l < $…
We report the detection of a number of emission lines in the 1.0--2.4~$\mu$m spectra of four of the five bright infrared dust-embedded stars at the center of the Galactic center's Quintuplet Cluster. Spectroscopy of the central stars of…
Echelle spectroscopy of H2, [FeII] and Br-gamma line emission from a very young planetary nebula, IRAS 21282+5050, and from four proto-planetary nebulae, IRAS 19343+2926 (M 1-92), IRAS 17150-3224 (AFGL 6815), IRAS 17423-1755 (Hen 3-1475),…
