J/MNRAS/357/732 2MASS photometry of galactic planetary nebulae (Larios+, 2005) ================================================================================ An analysis of 2MASS near-infrared photometry for galactic planetary nebulae. Larios G.R., Phillips J.P. =2005MNRAS.357..732L ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Surveys ; Planetary nebulae ; Infrared sources Keywords: surveys - planetary nebulae: general - infrared: ISM Abstract: The recently published 2MASS all-sky infrared survey () includes JHKs photometry of over 300 million sources. It also provides sizes and aspect ratios for the ~0.55 per cent of objects that appear in the extended-source catalogue. Although most of these detections correspond to galaxies, stars, H II regions, young stellar objects, reflection nebulae and so forth, a number of them also appear to correspond to galactic planetary nebulae (PNe). We have used this survey to determine the near-infrared properties of some 325 known galactic PNe.
