We report the discovery of a pair of infrared, axisymmetric rings in the planetary nebula NGC 1514 during the course of the WISE all-sky mid-infrared survey. Similar structures are seen at visible ...

This paper presents new near-infrared observations of the planetary nebula NGC 2346. The data include a broad K-band image, an image in the H2 vibrationally excited 1-0S(1) line and K band slit ...

The infrared spectrum is a strong function of position in η Car's nebula, with a mix of intrinsic and reflected emission. Molecular hydrogen traces cool gas and dust in the polar lobes, while [Fe ii] ...

Rising like a giant seahorse from turbulent waves of dust and gas is the Horsehead Nebula, otherwise known as Barnard 33. This image shows the region in infrared light, which has longer ...

The JWST's mid-infrared observations support this hypothesis ... Other ring-shaped planetary nebulas, such as the Helix Nebula (NGC 7293 in Aquarius), have also been shown to have bi-lobed ...

Why it's so special: NGC 6357, also called the Lobster Nebula, is busy giving birth to ... and 13 years to compile — the biggest-ever infrared map of the Milky Way galaxy. Infrared-sensitive ...

The star V830 Orionis shines on the cloud of material left over from its formation, here seen as the NGC 1999 reflection nebula The Helix Nebula is an example of a planetary nebula. Though it looks ...

Abstract: This work presents the first integral field spectroscopy of the Homunculus nebula around η Carinae in the near-infrared spectral region (J band). We confirmed the presence of a hole on the ...
