The ionization of galaxies by their planetary nebulae
2011
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union
Preserved Fulltext
Recent studies have shown that nuclei of planetary nebulae and their remnants (dubbed HOLMES for "hot low-mass evolved stars" ) can easily explain two long-standing problems of extragalactic astronomy: the observed emission-line spectra of ellipticals and LINER-like galaxies and the ionization and heating of the diffuse interstellar medium in spirals. They are summarized in this contribution. It is emphasized that the computation of grids of stellar evolution models until the white dwarf stage
