PNe in M51, M96 & M101
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We report the results of an [O III]{lambda}5007 survey for planetary nebulae (PNs) in three spiral galaxies: M101 (NGC 5457), M51 (NGC 5194/5l95), and M96 (NGC 3368).
Description
By comparing on-band/off-band [O III]{lambda}5007 images with images taken in H{alpha} and broadband R. we identify 65, 64, and 74 PN candidates in each galaxy, respectively. From these data, an adopted M31 distance of 770kpc, and the empirical planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF), we derive distances to M101, M51, and M96 of 7.7+/-0.5, 8.4+/-0.6, and 9.6+/-0.6Mpc.
These observations demonstrate that the PNLF technique can be successfully applied to late-type galaxies and can provide an important overlap between the Population I and Population II distance scales. We also discuss some special problems associated with using the PNLF in spiral galaxies, including the effects of dust and the possible presence of [O III] bright supernova remnants.
