Fornax 3D project automated detection of planetary nebulae in the centres of early-type galaxies and first results. (2020)

Keywords : planetary nebulae general - galaxies: elliptical and lenticular, cD - galaxies: distances and redshift - techniques: imaging spectroscopy

Abstract:Extragalactic Planetary Nebulae (PNe) are detectable via relatively strong nebulous [OIII] emission, acting as direct probes into the local stellar population. Due to an apparently universal, invariant magnitude cut-off, PNe are also considered to be a remarkable standard candle for distance estimation. Through detecting PNe within the galaxies, we aim to connect the relative abundances of PNe to the properties of their host galaxy stellar population. By removing the stellar background components from FCC 167 and FCC 219, we aim to produce PN Luminosity Functions (PNLF) of those galaxies, and therefore also estimate the distance modulus to those two systems. Finally, we test the reliability and robustness of the our novel ...(more)
