New Planetary Nebulae and Candidates from Multicolour Multiwavelength Surveys

Abstract

In the past decade, the Deep Sky Hunters Collaboration has identified more than 200 planetary nebula (PN) candidates by scanning the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) and other publicly available digital resources (SDSS, GALEX, WISE) mostly outside the sky regions covered by the SHS and IPHAS surveys. Amongst these 200 objects, we have identified thus far 106 true, probable and possible PNe, increasing the number of known Galactic PNe in the surveyed fields by about 30%. This contribution presents H-alpha and [OIII] images of 37 new PNe and candidates that have been identified during the past three years with the survey technique mentioned above.
