Abstract

RIESGO, H.  and  LOPEZ, J. A.. H2-12, a misidentified planetary nebula in Kepler SNR. Rev. mex. astron. astrofis [online]. 2005, vol.41, n.1, pp.57-60. ISSN 0185-1101.

Narrow-band direct images and long-slit, echelle spectra are presented for H 2-12. This nebula has been classified as a true planetary nebula. However, the data presented here shows that this object is actually part of the brightest knots and filaments located on the western side of Kepler's supernova remnant. Therefore, H 2-12 must be noted as a misclassified planetary nebula.
