Planetary nebulae as standard candles. III. The distance to M 81. (1989)

Keywords : galaxies distances - galaxies: individual (M81) - luminosity function - nebulae: planetary

Abstract:We present the results of a survey for planetary nebulae in the nearby Sb galaxy M81 (NGC 3031). Using the Kitt Peak 4m telescope and a TI CCD, we identify 185 planetary nebula candidates. Photometry of the nebulae extends nearly 2.5mag below the brightest candidate, although the sample is statistically homogeneous and complete for only 88 nebulae representing the top 1.2mag of the luminosity function. ...(more)
