Abundances of Planetary Nebulae and Evolved Stars: Iron and Sulfur Depletion, and Carbon and Nitrogen Enrichment, in Low- and Intermediate-mass Stellar Populations in the Milky Way

We research the elemental abundances in Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) compared with those of their stellar progenitors (red giant branch and asymptotic giant branch, AGB, stars), to explore and quantify the expected—i.e., due to AGB evolution or condensation onto grains—differences. We gleaned th...
