I've heard that an O-III (Oxygen III) filter is great for planetary nebulae.

Is this true for all planetary nebulae, or just some or most?

What other target types are often improved with an O-III filter?

Answer #1

The dominant OIII emission line is the line, which is at 2.51 eV. If you want to see a pretty picture, you'll want a wide field of emission of this line, which would mean that you need a gas cloud which is exciting the OIII line thermally. The thermal energy required to excite the 2.51 eV line is around 8,000 K, so you need gas clouds with that sort of temperature.

Planetary nebulae and supernovae remnants will of course have temperatures around there. H II regions are excellent sources of O III emission, too.

The scientists of the space station realize that oxygen level is dropping. • There are 3 possible issues (mutually-exclusive) that can cause oxygen levels to go down: a leak in the fuselage (L), problems with oxygen pump (U), potential malfunctioning of a CO2 filter (F). • In other words, some malfunction happens and as a result you might have an oxygen leak. • Based on previous experiences, in case there is any malfunctioning: P(L) = 0.02, P(U) = 0.49 and...

1)Oxygen demand is a term biologists use to describe the oxygen needed by fish and other aquatic organisms for survival. The Environmental Protection Agency conducted a study of a wetland area. In this wetland environment, the mean oxygen demand was μ = 9.7 mg/L with 95% of the data ranging from 6.3 mg/L to 13.1 mg/L. Let x be a random variable that represents oxygen demand in this wetland environment. Assume x has a probability distribution that is approximately normal....

It's true — sand dunes in Colorado rival sand dunes of the Great Sahara Desert! The highest dunes at Great Sand Dunes National Monument can exceed the highest dunes in the Great Sahara, extending over 700 feet in height. However, like all sand dunes, they tend to move around in the wind. This can cause a bit of trouble for temporary structures located near the "escaping" dunes. Roads, parking lots, campgrounds, small buildings, trees, and other vegetation are destroyed when...
