The Andromeda Galaxy’s Last Major Merger: Constraints from the survey of Planetary Nebulae
(The International Astronomical Union, 2023-05-04)
The Andromeda galaxy (M 31) has experienced a tumultuous merger history as evidenced by the many substructures present in its inner halo. We use planetary nebulae (PNe) as chemodynamic tracers to shed light on the recent ...
The survey of planetary nebulae in Andromeda (M31). IV. Radial oxygen and argon abundance gradients of the thin and thicker disc
(2022-12-01)
We obtain a magnitude-limited sample of Andromeda (M 31) disc PNe with chemical abundance estimated through the direct detection of the [O III] 4363 Å line. This leads to 205 and 200 PNe with oxygen and argon abundances, ...
