Title: Chandra Observations of the Eagle Nebula. I. Embedded Young Stellar Objects near the Pillars of Creation Authors: Jeffrey L. Linsky, Marc Gagne, Anna Mytyk, Mark McCaughrean, Morten Andersen We present and analyse the first high-resolution X-ray images ever obta...

Using the NASA Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) satellite, a team of astronomers have discovered an object predicted, but never seen before - a 'jet trail' nebula. Team leader Dr Klaas Wiersema of the University of Leicester will present the discovery on Wednesday 22nd April at the European Week...

Title: Reconstructing the Guitar: Blowing Bubbles with a Pulsar Bow Shock Back Flow Authors: Marten H. van Kerkwijk (Toronto), Ashleigh Ingle (Toronto) The Guitar Nebula is an H-alpha nebula produced by the interaction of the relativistic wind of a very fast pulsar, PSR B2224+65, with the inters...

Title: DA495 - an aging pulsar wind nebula Authors: R. Kothes, T.L. Landecker, W. Reich, S. Safi-Harb, Z. Arzoumanian We present a radio continuum study of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) DA 495 (G65.7+1.2), including images of total intensity and linear polarization from 408 to 10550 MHz based on the...

Title: An occultation event in a triple post-AGB star Authors: M. Hajduk, A. A. Zijlstra, K. Gesicki We study the post-AGB central star of the (bipolar) Galactic bulge planetary nebula M 2-29. We have obtained additional HST imaging and SAAO spectroscopy of the object. The star showed a pronounced...

The colourful, intricate shapes in these NASA Hubble Space Telescope images reveal how the glowing gas ejected by dying Sun-like stars evolves dramatically over time. These gaseous clouds, called planetary nebulae, are created when stars in the last stages of life cast off their outer layers of m...

Title: Submillimeter Array Observation of the Proto-Planetary Nebula CRL 618 in the CO J=6-5 Line Authors: Jun-ichi Nakashima (1), David Fong (2), Tatsuhiko Hasegawa (1), Naomi Hirano (1), Nico Koning (3), Sun Kwok (1,4), Jeremy Lim (1), Dinh-Van-Trung (1), Ken Young (5) ((1) ASIAA, (2) CfA/SMA...

Who would have thought a ball of dust and gas could be so beautiful? The just-discovered nebula, dubbed "The Red Square", has amazed astronomers with its rare symmetrical appearance. They are excited by the possibility of a supernova. The University of Sydney team, led by Dr Peter Tuthi...

Title: The Spitzer/IRS Infrared Spectrum and Abundances of the Planetary Nebula IC 2448 Authors: S. Guiles, J. Bernard-Salas, S. R. Pottasch, T. L. Roellig We present the mid-infrared spectrum of the planetary nebula IC 2448. In order to determine the chemical composition of the nebula, we use th...

The Lagoon Nebula also known as M8, is visible even without binoculars towards the constellation of Sagittarius[img]http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0508/m8_sheric...

The Engraved Hourglass Nebula (also known as MyCn 18) is a young planetary nebula situated in the southern constellation Musca about 8,000 light-years away from Earth. It was discovered by Annie Jump Cannon and Margaret W. Mayall during their work on an extended Henry Draper Catalogue (the catalo...

Title: An Infrared Study of Fullerene Planetary Nebulae Authors: D. A. Garcia-Hernandez, E. Villaver, P. Garcia-Lario, J. A. Acosta-Pulido, A. Manchado, L. Stanghellini, R. A. Shaw, F. Cataldo We present a study of 16 PNe where fullerenes have been detected in their Spitzer spectra. This large s...
