A total of 45 PNe was observed and their physical parameters (electron density and temperature) were derived. Ionic abundances were calculated using a three-level atom model and abundances were derived through ionisation correction factors. Results show low abundance objects at high galactic latitudes, indicating a possible vertical gradient inside the bulge. A few objects with low N/O ratio were found, which could originated from old, low mass progenitors.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-10-16T19:23:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "galactic bulge", "low mass progenitors", "report spectrophotometric observations", "high galactic latitudes", "ionisation correction factors" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 577422 } } }
