MPhil Thesis: Planetary Nebulae in the Galactic bulge

My MPhil project supervised by Prof. Quentin Parker is based on an excellent set of VLT observations of 136 planetary nebulae (PNe) located in the Galactic bulge (PI: Rees). These observations include PNe with catalogued angular sizes ranging from 2 to 10 arcseconds. The figure below illustrates their distribution across the Galaxy, with objects that have been imaged by HST marked by orange scatter. Download
