Complete catalog of planetary nebulae in LMC

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

This paper presents accurate homogeneous positions, velocities and other pertinent properties for 460 newly discovered and 169 previously known planetary nebulae (PNe) in the central 25-deg^2^ bar region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).

Description

Candidate emission sources were discovered using a deep, high-resolution H{alpha} map of the LMC obtained by median stacking a dozen 2h H{alpha} exposures taken with the UK Schmidt Telescope (UKST).

Our spectroscopic follow-up of more than 2000 compact (i.e. <20arcsec) H{alpha} emission candidates uncovered has tripled the number of PNe in this area. All of the 169 previously known PNe within this region have also been independently recovered and included in this paper to create a homogeneous data set. Of the newly discovered PNe, we classify 291 as 'true', 54 as 'likely' and 115 as 'possible' based on the strength of photometric and spectroscopic evidence.

Radial velocities have been measured using both weighted averaging of emission lines and cross-correlation techniques against high-quality templates.
