High-ionization recombination lines in NGC 6302
Abstract
A preliminary VLT UVES spectrum of NGC 6302 (Casassus et al. 2002) has been recently analysed by means of X-SSN, a spectrum synthesis code for nebulae (Morisset and Pequignot). A wealth of permitted optical recombination lines from highly-ionized species are detected/identified for the first time in a PN, and some of them probably for the first time in (Astro)Physics.
