Identification of Planetary and Proto-Planetary Nebulae Candidates Through AKARI Infrared Photometry. (2024). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 60(2), 261-275. https://doi.org/10.22201/ia.01851101p.2024.60.02.05

Abstract

We utilized photometric data from the space telescope AKARI to identify potential planetary nebulae (PNe) and proto-planetary nebulae (PPNe) candidates. Using the color-color diagram, we found a region with a high concentration of established PNe and PPNe, comprising about 95% of the objects. Based on this, we identified 67 objects within this region that lack definitive classification in existing literature, suggesting they are promising candidates. We conducted Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) analysis and morphological investigations using imagery from various observatories and satellites. Finally, we present a list of 65 potential PNe and PPNe candidates.
