J/A+A/280/581 Chemical abundances of PNe (Pasquali+, 1993)

Chemical behaviour of planetary nebulae and galactic abundance gradients

Keywords: planetary nebulae: general - ISM: abundances - galaxy: abundances.
Abstract:
All modern determinations of chemical abundances of He/H, O/H, C/H,
N/H and Ne/H in 277 galactic Planetary Nebulae have been used to
update our knowledge of the chemical behavior of Planetary Nebulae, as
a whole and in Peimbert's groups. The data have been used to set up
the problem of the chemical gradients in the Galaxy from Planetary
Nebulae. The Interstellar Medium has been found to be more
inhomogeneous in the past epochs of the Galaxy than in the present
time.
