Galactic Abundance Patterns via Peimbert Types I & II PNe
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We present total element abundances based upon newly acquired spectrophotometry of a sample of $>$120 Galactic PNe. We continue to explore the use of the near-IR [S III] features to determine S$^{+2}$ abundances and to improve total extrapolated sulfur - a useful metallicity tracer. With this compilation we explore abundance patterns in PNe that reveal signatures of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis as well as larger-scale galactic chemical evolution.
