IC 1297: The Most Distant Known X-ray Planetary Nebula and One of the Most Luminous

We present the first targeted Einstein Probe (EP) X-ray observations of any planetary nebula (PN). Using the onboard Follow-up X-ray Telescope (FXT), we detect X-ray emission within the central region of IC 1297. The spectral analysis yields a plasma temperature of $kT = 0.086^{+0.054}_{-0.058}$ keV ($T\sim1.0 \times 1...
