Abstract:

We summarize the results of narrow-band (H $\alpha$ and [O III] $\lambda$ 5007Å) imaging of eight planetary nebulae taken during recent observing campaigns: We present the probably largest known PN, MWP1, with a linear diameter of about 6pc. We show first narrow-band images of He2-437, MeWe1-5, MeWe1-8, MeWe1-9, NGC1360, and of - like we term them - the "Galactic footballs'' A43 and NGC7094.

We report about a search for planetary nebulae around eleven extremely hot (pre-) white dwarfs which had not been successful.

Key words: planetary nebulae: general -- planetary nebulae: individual: A43; He2-437; MWP1; NGC1360; NGC7094

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
