Abundances for a large sample of galactic Planetary Nebulae
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Extract
We present a database on the chemical composition of 200 planetary nebulae (PNe) in our Galaxy. Abundances of He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, and Ar are found for 175, 64, 190, 200, 170, 13, 40, 173, and 187 PNe respectively. The abundances for all PNe are obtained with the same atomic data and by the same method of abundance determination, so the database is highly homogeneous. The method of the determination of nebular abundances based on a photoionization model grid is described by Golovaty et al. (1993). Observational data have been compiled from 105 papers published in 1976–1994. For most of PNe in our sample, the distances and central star masses are determined as well (Malkov, this volume).
