Abstract

We are extending our search for faint PNe in the LMC to include the outer 56 deg ² area not covered in the original UKST survey of the central 25deg ² region. Candidate PNe have been selected using the Magellanic Cloud Emission Line Survey (MCELS) and the first round of observations has yielded 93 new LMC PNe while confirming the 102 previously known PNe in the outer LMC. We plan to continue our spectroscopic object identification program until we cover all our remaining candidates in the survey area. These observations, providing medium and high resolution spectra from λ3650Å to λ6900Å will additionally be used to measure fluxes for a series of research projects including luminosity functions, abundances and LMC kinematics.
