Distances of Galactic Planetary Nebulae Based on a Relationship Between the Central Star Mass and the N/O Abundance. (2000). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 36(1), 3. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/2000rmxaa..36....3c
Abstract
The author propose a method to determine distances of Galactic planetary nebulae on the basis of a relationship between the central star mass Mc and the nebular N/O abundance ratio. This relationship is used in combination with some basic parameters of the central stars, such as the λ5480 Å flux, surface gravity and visual magnitude in order to obtain distances to a sample of a hundred Galactic planetary nebulae.Similar Articles
