    Bulletin of the AAS • Vol. 53, Issue 6 Abundance Analyses Of Planetary Nebulae

    We present a preliminary abundance analysis of 19 planetary nebulae (PNe) in the


    Galactic disk using optical spectra. The spectra were obtained with the 10.4 m Gran
    Telescopio Canarias. This is part of an ongoing survey to build a comprehensive
    database of Galactic compact PN chemical abundances. We used both the EQUIB and
    NEAT (Nebular Empirical Analysis Tool) analysis packages to calculate the ionic
    abundances for He, N, O, Ne, S and Ar. We show the results of both methods and
    discuss the impact of using different methods on PN abundance calculations as well as
    Galactic radial metallicity gradients derived from those abundances. This material is
    based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant AAG-
    1616807.
