  13. New PNe in NGC6822. Selection criteria: - objects in OIII, but not in continuum - objects in H,but not in continuum Pollution agents: -compact Supernova Remnants -compact HII regions (stellar continuum, stars of PNe are 2mag fainter)  apparent magnitudes (punctual objects) measured with digiphot.apphot.phot (IRAF). PSF=6.5pix  comparative photometry (PN7, Leisy et al. 2005) IAC-150408

  16. Cumulative Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function. m*=19.35 Nexp(-0.307= 6.72x10-3 N = normalization constant = apparent distance modulus m* = apparent peak magnitudes of the luminosity function IAC-150408

  18. Absolute peak magnitud of the PNLF. We can use the true distance modulus 23.48mag (Van de Bergh 2000) and the extinction AV=0.73 (Gallart et al, 1996) to derive a peak absolute magnitude of the luminosity function of NGC 6822. M*=-4.47±0.05 Ciardullo et. al (2002) M*5007(0) -4.83 This work M*=-4.57, NGC3109 Peña et al, 2007 IAC-150408

  19. Spectroscopy… • VLT Multi-Object Spectrograph observations, carried on August 19th to 22nd, 2006. • - We used FORS-2 spectrograph with a field of 6.8’x6.8’ covering the central part of the galaxy. IAC-150408

  34. (very) Preliminary results

  35. Conclusions. • We have increased the PNe sample. The distribution of HII regions appear to be confined to the center of the galaxy instead PNe apparently being over the whole galaxy. • We have derived the peak absolute magnitude of the luminosity function of NGC 6822. We get M*>4.48, Metallicity dependent?, problems with calibrations? Galactic extinction? • In this work we obtained the abundances of 7 PNe. Given a total number of 10 PNe abundances for this galaxy. • Two PNe in our sample are Type I (2.4-8 Msun). • Two are oxygen self-enrichment. This are not useful as observational constraint of Oxygen. • All these results will be taken into account in our chemical model of NGC 6822. IAC-150408
