Planetary Nebulae, Abundances

Scientific paper

A new determination of the radial abundance gradients of O/H, Ne/H, S/H, and Ar/H is made for disk planetary nebulae, (PN), that is, those objects of Peimbert types I, II, and III. On the basis of a sample containing 200 nebulae, it can be concluded that these gradients are generally similar, and of the same order of magnitude as the O/H gradient displayed by galactic HII regions. Some distance-independent correlations confirm the accuracy of the abundances and support the interpretation of the gradients in terms of chemical evolution models. The time evolution of the abundance gradients in the Milky Way is investigated, and their variation with the types of PN are compared with predictions of chemical evolution models.
