Abstract:
The VISTA Magellanic Cloud (VMC) survey is assembling a deep,
multi-epoch atlas of YJKs photometry across the Magellanic Clouds.
Prior to the VMC survey only the brightest Magellanic Cloud PNe
(MCPNe) were accessible at near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. It is now
possible for the first time to assemble the NIR properties of MCPNe
and to identify contaminating non-PNe mimics which are best revealed
at NIR wavelengths (e.g. HII regions and symbiotic stars). To maintain
the unique scientific niche that MCPNe occupy these contaminants must
be removed. Here we conduct a VMC-led, multi-wavelength study of 102
objects previously classified as PNe that are located within the first
six VMC tiles observed. We present images, photometry, lightcurves,
diagnostic colour - colour diagrams and spectral energy
distributions used to analyse the entire sample. At least five PNe
have newly resolved nebula morphologies, a task previously only
possible with the HST.
