PHR 1315-6555 is a rare case of a Galactic Planetary Nebula that is a proven member of the Open Cluster AL 1. This allows its distance to be defined with precision and thus the accurate measurement of its physical characteristics along with the parameters of its Central Star (CS). In this work we use HST to detect this unique CS and constrain the clusters physical parameters. Our results suggest that the cluster rests at a distance of $sim$12 kpc, is highly reddened, and has an age of around 0.66 Gyrs and a turn-off mass of $sim$2.2 M$_odot$. Our deep Colour Magnitude Diagram (CMD) suggests that the metallicity of the cluster is subsolar (Z=0.006). Our photometric measurements indicate that the PNs core is a faint blue star close to the nebular apparent centre, with an observed dereddened visual VEGA magnitude of 21.82 $pm$ 0.60. A significant contribution from any possible binary companion is unlikely but possible. Our results show that the CS has an effective Zanstra temperature of around 113 kK and a mass of 0.58 M$_odot$ providing a unique additional point to the fundamental White Dwarf Initial-to-Final-Mass Relation.
We present a detailed study of the binary central star of the planetary nebula ETHOS 1 (PN G068.1+11.0). Simultaneous modelling of light and radial velocity curves reveals the binary to comprise a hot and massive pre-white-dwarf with an M-type main-s
We have conducted a multi-wavelength study of the planetary nebula Abell 48 and give a revised classification of its nucleus as a hydrogen-deficient star of type [WN4]. The surrounding nebula has a morphology typical of PNe and importantly, is not en
The globular cluster (GC) system of our Galaxy contains four planetary nebulae (PNe): K 648 (or Ps 1) in M15, IRAS 18333-2357 in M22, JaFu 1 in Pal 6, and JaFu 2 in NGC 6441. Because single-star evolution at the low stellar mass of present-epoch GCs
We report deep long-slit emission-line spectra, the line flux ratios, and Doppler profile shapes of various bright optical lines. The low-ionization lines (primarily [N I], [O I], [S II], and [N II]) originate in shocked knots, as reported by many pr
SwSt 1 (PN G001.5-06.7) is a bright and compact planetary nebula containing a late [WC]-type central star. Previous studies suggested that the nebular and stellar lines are slowly changing with time. We studied new and archival optical and ultraviole
