We present preliminary results from spectral observations of four (4) candidate radio sources co-identified with known planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). These were made using the Radcliffe 1.9-meter telescope in Sutherland, South Africa. These radio PNe were originally found in Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) surveys of the SMC at 1.42 and 2.37 GHz, and were further confirmed by new high resolution ATCA images at 6 and 3 cm (400 /200 ). Optical PNe and radio candidates are within 200 and may represent a sub- population of selected radio bright objects. Nebular ionized masses of these objects may be 2.6 Mo or greater, supporting the existence of PNe progenitor central stars with masses up to 8 Mo.

AAT and IUE spectra of thirteen medium-excitation Magellanic Cloud planetary nebulae have been used to derive H I Zanstra effective temperatures and surface gravities for the central stars.

Kinematical studies of the Magellanic Clouds began more than half a century ago, when Wilson, in 1918, first interpreted the gradient of the 17 radial velocities of gazeous nebulae in the Large Cloud in terms of rotation. In the case of the Small Magellanic Cloud, the first real attempt to understand the velocity field of this galaxy was performed by the Radcliffe astronomers (Feast et al., 1960, 1961). Their study was based on radial velocities of 40 stars and 13 HII regions.With the installation by ESO of an objective-prisme astrograph in South Africa, in 1961, and then of several larger telescopes in Chile in 1968, the number of measurements significantly increased for Magellanic objects, in particular in the SMC. In this galaxy, the objective-prism observations resulted in about 100 stellar radial velocities (Florsch, 1972a) of probable members. A compilation by Maurice (1979) of all then known slit-spectrograph radial velocities gave velocities for 80 supergiants, 35 HII regions and 12 planetary nebulae.

AbstractThe multi-epoch YJKs sub-arcsecond photometry of the VMC survey provides a long anticipated deep near-infrared (NIR) window into further understanding the stellar populations of the Magellanic Clouds. The first year of observations consisted of six tiles covering ~9% of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) survey region and contains 102 objects previously classified as planetary nebulae (PNe). A large proportion of the sample were found to be contaminated by non-PNe. These initial results underline the importance of establishing a clean catalogue of LMC PNe before they are applied in areas such as the planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF) and searches for binary central stars. As the VMC survey progresses it will play a fundamental role in cleaning extant PN catalogues and a complementary role in the discovery of new PNe.

AbstractThis paper describes the results of searches for planetary nebulae on seven objective prism plates which were taken with the UK 1.2m Schmidt Telescope and cover the entire Small Magellanic Cloud. A total of 62 objects were detected; their spatial distribution is discussed.

It is now clear that a vast majority of intermediate-mass stars have stellar and/or sub-stellar companions, therefore it is no longer appropriate to consider planetary nebulae as a single-star phenomenon, although some single, isolated stars may well lead to planetary nebulae. As such, while understanding binary evolution is critical for furthering our knowledge of planetary nebulae, the converse is also true: planetary nebulae can be valuable tools with which to probe binary evolution. In this brief review, I attempt to summarise some of our current understanding with regards to the role of binarity in the formation of planetary nebulae, and the areas in which continued study of planetary nebulae may have wider ramifications for our grasp on the fundaments of binary evolution.
