Detailed studies of IPHAS sources - III. The highly extinguished bipolar planetary nebula IPHASX J191104.8+060845

We present the first detailed study of the bipolar planetary nebula (PN) IPHASX J191104.8+060845 (PN G 040.6-01.5) discovered as part of the Isaac Newton Telescope Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic plane (IPHAS). We present Nordic Optical Telescope narrow-band images to unveil its true morphology. This PN consists of a main cavity with two newly uncovered extended low-surface brightness lobes located towards the NW and SE directions. Using near-IR WISE images we unveiled the presence of a barrel-like structure, which surrounds the main cavity, which would explain the dark lane towards the equatorial regions. We also use Gran Telescopio de Canarias spectra to study the physical properties of this PN. We emphasize the potential of old PNe detected in IPHAS to study the final stages of the evolution of the circumstellar medium around solar-like stars. © 2020 The Author(s).

This paper makes use of data obtained as part of the INT Photometric Ha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS) carried out at the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT). The INT is operated on the island of La Palma by the Isaac Newton Group in the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias. All IPHAS data are processed by the Cambridge Astronomical Survey Unit, at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge. Based on observations collected at the Observatorio Astronomico Nacional at San Pedro Martir, B.C., Mexico. Based on observations made with the Nordic Optical Telescope, operated by the Nordic Optical Telescope Scientific Association at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma, Spain, of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias. Based on observations made with the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), installed at the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias, in the island of La Palma. The data presented here were obtained in part with ALFOSC, which is provided by the Instituto de Astrofisica de Andalucia (IAA) under a joint agreement with the University of Copenhagen and NOTSA.With funding from the Spanish government through the Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence accreditation SEV-2017-0709.Peer reviewe
