(2014-10-01)
      We present the first results of our search for new, extended planetary nebulae (PNe) based on careful, systematic, visual scrutiny of the imaging data from the Isaac Newton Telescope Photometric Ha Survey of the Northern ...
    • Improved prospects for the detection of new Large Magellanic Cloud planetary nebulae 

      Miszalski, B.; Napiwotzki, R.; Cioni, M-R.L.; Nie, J. (2011)
      The LargeMagellanic Cloud (LMC) contains the nearest large extragalactic population of planetary nebulae (PNe). A shallow viewing angle and low interstellar reddening towards the LMC potentially means a larger, more complete ...
    • The influence of binarity on dust obscuration events in the planetary nebula M 2-29 and its analogues 

      Miszalski, B.; Mikolajewska, J.; Koppen, K.; Rauch, T.; Acker, A.; Cohen, M.; Frew, D.J.; Moffat, A.F.J.; Parker, Q.A.; Jones, A.F.; Udalski, A. (2011)
      The central star of the planetary nebula (CSPN) M 2-29 shows an extraordinary R Coronae Borealis-like fading event in its optical lightcurve. The only other CSPN to show these events are CPD−56◦8032 (Hen 3-1333) and V651 ...
    • IPHAS extinction distances to planetary nebulae 

      Giammanco, C.; Sale, S.E.; Corradi, R.L.M.; Barlow, M.J.; Viironen, K.; Sabin, L.; Santander-Garcia, M.; Frew, D.J.; Greimel, R.; Miszalski, B.; Phillipps, S.; Zijlstra, A.A.; Mampaso, A.; Drew, J.E.; Parker, Q.A.; Napiwotzki, R. (2011)
      Aims. The determination of reliable distances to planetary nebulae (PNe) is a major difficulty in the study of this class of objects in the Galaxy. The availability of new photometric surveys such as IPHAS (the INT/WFC ...
    • The Necklace : equatorial and polar outflows from the binary central star of the new planetary nebula IPHASX J194359.5+170901
