Abstract:
We present mid-infrared (MIR) photometry for 367 Galactic disc, bulge
and Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) planetary nebulae (PNe), determined
using data acquired with the Spitzer Space Telescope, and
through the Legacy Programs GLIMPSE II (Galactic Legacy Infrared
Mid-plane Survey Extraordinaire II) and SAGE (Surveying the Agents of
the Galaxy's Evolution). This has permitted us to make a comparison
between the luminosity functions of bulge and LMC PNe, and between the
MIR colours of all three categories of source. It is determined that
whilst the 3.6 µm luminosity functions of the LMC and bulge sources
are likely to be closely similar, the [3.6]-[5.8] and [5.8]-[8-0]
indices of LMC nebulae are different from those of their disc and
bulge counterparts. This may arise because of enhanced 6.2µm
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission within the LMC sources,
and/or as a result of further, and more radical differences between
the spectra of LMC and Galactic PNe. We also determine that the more
evolved disc sources listed in the Macquarie/AAO/Strasbourg (MASH)
catalogues of Parker et al. (2006MNRAS.373...79P 2006MNRAS.373...79P) and Miszalski et al.
(2008MNRAS.384..525M 2008MNRAS.384..525M), Cat. V/127, have similar colours to those of
the less evolved (and higher surface brightness) sources in the
catalogue of Acker et al. (Cat. V/84), a result which appears at
variance with previous studies of these sources.
Description:
We have acquired photometry and mapping of a wide range of
Galactic disc, Galactic bulge, and LMC PNe using data deriving
from the second Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-plane Survey
Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE II) (Benjamin et al., 2003PASP..115..953B 2003PASP..115..953B,
Cat. II/293), and the program Surveying the Agents of a Galaxy.s
Evolution (SAGE; Meixner et al., 2006AJ....132.2268M 2006AJ....132.2268M, Cat.
J/AJ/132/2268). Both of these surveys were undertaken using the
Spitzer Space Telescope (SST; Werner et al., 2004ApJS..154....1W 2004ApJS..154....1W).
