Abstract:
Using the ESO 2.2m telescope with the 8Kx8K mosaic CCD, we have
surveyed 2.8deg2 (∼1.6°x1.7°) of the Small Magellanic Cloud
(SMC) to search for faint planetary nebulae (PNs); 34 PNs were
previously known in this central region. We identified 25 new PNs, all
faint and spectroscopically confirmed.

Note (1): The magnitudes have uncertainties of 0.1mag in their zero points.
In addition, the magnitudes have measurement accuracies that are no
better than 0.05mag. The number of significant figures in the
magnitude values reflects the accuracy of the estimate.
Note (2): The image diameter is the approximate PN diameter measured
from the [O III] difference image, while the spectroscopic diameter
is the diameter of the PN measured from the brightest line in the
spectrum - often [O III]λ5007, along the slit length from the
CTIO 4m spectroscopy. The lack of a value in this column indicates
that the PN diameter was smaller than the seeing.
