Gas-phase abundances of C, Mg, Si, Ca, and Fe have been measured for a number of planetary nebulae on the basis of optical, ultraviolet, and infrared emission-line intensities. The abundances of Si, Ca, and Fe show characteristic depletions of one to two orders-of-magnitude as a result of grain formation. Magnesium shows a similar depletion in the outer parts of several planetary nebulae, but it is undepleted in their inner parts. Carbon is not detectably depleted by grain formation. Efficient condensation of refractory elements can easily occur during the early stages of formation of a planetary nebula; but the observed, residual gas-phase abundances are not understood. Observations of molecules in the envelopes of late-type stars may provide useful clues.

AbstractIn the early 90's, C60+ was proposed as the carrier of two diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) at 9577 and 9632 Å, but a firm identification still awaits gas-phase spectroscopic data. Neutral C60, on the other hand, was recently detected through its infrared emission bands in the interstellar medium and evolved stars. In this contribution, we present the detection of C60+ through its infrared vibrational bands in the NGC 7023 nebula, based on spectroscopic observations with the Spitzer space telescope, quantum chemistry calculation, and laboratory data from the literature. This detection supports the idea that C60+ could be a DIB carrier, and provides robust evidence that fullerenes exist in the gas-phase in the interstellar medium. Modeling efforts to design specific observations, combined with new gas-phase data, will be essential to confirm this proposal. A definitive attribution of the 9577 and 9632 Å DIBs to C60+ would represent a significant step forward in the field.
