... August 28, 1996 . NGC 5882: A Small Planetary Nebula . ... Pictured above is the planetary nebula NGC 5882, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope . Although planetary nebulae can appear similar to planets like Uranus and Neptune , they are actually gas clouds surrounding stars typically hundreds of light years away. Planetary nebula form when a typical star completes fusion in its core and ejects an outer envelope of gas - usually about 10 percent of the star's initial mass. ...

... STScI-PRC98-11A STARING INTO THE WINDS OF DESTRUCTION: HST/NICMOS IMAGES OF THE PLANETARY NEBULA NGC 7027 The Hubble Space Telescope's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) has captured a glimpse of a brief stage in the burnout of NGC 7027, a medium-mass star like our sun. ... The material settles into a wind of gas and dust blowing away from the dying star. ... During this phase, intense ultraviolet radiation from the central star lights up a region of gas surrounding it. ...

Our team has obtained HST WFPC2 images of this prototypical example of a planetary nebula in a globular cluster. K 648 was cataloged as a star by Kustner, but identified spectroscopically as a planetary nebula by Pease, both in the 1920's. General WFPC2 view of M15 and K 648 (located near top left edge) . ... The nucleus is shown to have an unusually high mass of 0.60 Msun, and we argue that it must have undergone mass augmentation in a binary that has undergone mass transfer or a merger. ...

... GSAOI Home . ... Science . ... Deep imaging at J , H , and K is required to identify all stellar objects, brown dwarfs, and planetary mass objects in the central region of the Orion Nebula Cluster down to masses comparable to that of Jupiter. This is required to establish the initial mass function, i.e., the number of stars of each mass that have formed, in this region of intense massive star formation. ... The fields of the GSAOI detectors are shown as four green squares in each frame. ...
