Abstract:
We present the results of a wide-field [O III] λ5007 survey for
planetary nebulae (PN) in M87 and its surrounding halo. In all, we
identify 338 PN candidates in a 16'x16' field around the galaxy;
187 of these objects are in a statistical sample that extends to
m5007=27.15.
Description:
On 1995 April 6 and 7 we surveyed a 16'x16' region of sky around M87
with the T2KB CCD on the Kitt Peak 4m telescope, which afforded a
plate scale of 0.47" per pixel. Our on-band data consisted of seven
exposures totaling 6.8hr through a 30Å full-width-half-maximum
(FWHM) interference filter centered at 5030Å in the converging
f/2.7 beam of the telescope.
