Monday 15th June 2009 - 3:30pm AAO Conference Room
Planetary Nebulae in our Galaxy and the binary hypothesis
Brent Miszalski Macquarie and Strasbourg Universities
Abstract:
Brent will give a broad overview of the MASH-II Galactic PN discovery
project using specially developed multi-wavelength data trawling and
visualisation techniques. He will also discuss the work he has undertaken
on addressing the important question of the binary fraction of the central
stars of PN through his careful study of OLEIII photometry of their detected
central stars and their related propensity for bipolar morphology.
