AbstractThe populations of bright planetary nebulae in the discs of spirals appear to differ in their spectral properties from those in ellipticals and the bulges of spirals. The bright planetary nebulae from the bulge of the Milky Way are entirely compatible with those observed in the discs of spiral galaxies. The similarity might be explained if the bulge of the Milky Way evolved secularly from the disc, in which case the bulge should be regarded as a pseudo-bulge.

AbstractNew abundances of planetary nebulae located towards the bulge of the Galaxy are derived based on observations made at LNA (Brazil). We present accurate abundances of the elements He, N, S, O, Ar, and Ne for 56 PNe located towards the galactic bulge. The data shows a good agreement with other results in the literature, in the sense that the distribution of the abundances is similar to those works. From the statistical analysis performed, we can suggest a bulge-disk interface at 2.2 kpc for the intermediate mass population, marking therefore the outer border of the bulge and inner border of the disk.

AbstractNeutron(n)-capture elements are produced by s-process nucleosynthesis in low- and intermediate-mass AGB stars, and therefore can be enriched in planetary nebulae (PNe). In the last ten years, n-capture elements have been detected in more than 100 PNe in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies. In some objects, several different n-capture elements have been detected, providing valuable constraints to models of AGB nucleosynthesis and evolution. These detections have motivated theoretical and experimental investigations of the atomic data needed to derive accurate n-capture element abundances. In this review, I discuss the methods and results of these atomic data studies, and their application to abundance determinations in PNe.

AbstractModern data concerning the planetary nebulae (PNe) in the bulge, bar and disk of the Milky Way are used to study the chemical history of bulge. We show that the abundance pattern is similar for PNe in the bulge and Peimbert's type II PNe. We also found that the globular clusters (GCs), especially their metal-rich disk subsystem, form on metallicity maps a bar-like structure which parameters are very close to those for the Galactic bar. These results evidence an old age of the Galactic bulge and bar. We propose a scenario of the successive star formation in the bulge, bar and thin disk.

Planetary Nebulae (PNe) are transient objects of considerable astrophysical interest: there are thought to descend from low and intermediate initial mass stars and therefore cover a large range of ages. On the other hand there are easily identified thanks to their bright emission-line spectra. In view of this it is perhaps surprising that little use has been made of PNe for kinematical studies of the Milky Way.

Context. Spectra of planetary nebulae show numerous fine structure emission lines from ionic species, enabling us to study the overall abundances of the nebular material that is ejected into the interstellar medium. The abundances derived from planetary nebula emission show the presence of a metallicity gradient within the disk of the Milky Way up to Galactocentric distances of ~10 kpc, which are consistent with findings from studies of different types of sources, including H II regions and young B-type stars. The radial dependence of these abundances further from the Galactic centre is in dispute. Aims. We aim to derive the abundances of neon, sulphur and argon from a sample of planetary nebulae towards the Galactic anti-centre, which represent the abundances of the clouds from which they were formed, as they remain unchanged throughout the course of stellar evolution. We then aim to compare these values with similarly analysed data from elsewhere in the Milky Way in order to observe whether the abundance gradient continues in the outskirts of our Galaxy. Methods. We have observed 23 planetary nebulae at Galactocentric distances of 8–21 kpc with Spitzer IRS. The abundances were calculated from infrared emission lines, for which we observed the main ionisation states of neon, sulphur, and argon, which are little affected by extinction and uncertainties in temperature measurements or fluctuations within the planetary nebula. We have complemented these observations with others from optical studies in the literature, in order to reduce or avoid the need for ionisation correction factors in abundance calculations. Results. The overall abundances of our sample of planetary nebulae in the Galactic anti-centre are lower than those in the solar neighbourhood. The abundances of neon, sulphur, and argon from these stars are consistent with a metallicity gradient from the solar neighbourhood up to Galactocentric distances of ~20 kpc, albeit with varying degrees of dispersion within the data.
