Complex molecules in the Orion Kleinmann-Low nebula
In the framework of the delivery to the early Earth of extraterrestrial molecules, we have studied complex molecular species toward the Orion Kleinmann-Low nebula. This nebula is rich in molecules as well as in nascent stars and planetary systems.

Integral Field Spectroscopy of Planetary Nebulae with MUSE
The Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) is a large integral field unit mounted on the ESO Very Large Telescope. Its spatial (60 arcsecond field) and wavelength (4800–9300Å) coverage is well suited to detailed imaging spectroscopy of extended ...

The dynamics of Planetary Nebulae [PDF]
In this review we focus on new observations and theory that directly pertain to understanding the hydrodynamic evolution of planetary nebulae (PNe). The recent history of the field lead us to break the review into two parts, macroscopic and microscopic structures, since both the size scales and the dominant physics appear to cleave nicely into more-or ...

Lessons from the Ionised and Molecular Mass of Post-CE PNe
Close binary evolution is widely invoked to explain the formation of axisymmetric planetary nebulae after a brief common envelope phase. The evolution of the primary would be interrupted abruptly, its still quite massive envelope being fully ejected to ...

On the Origin of Planetary Nebulae [PDF]
A hypothesis that planetary nebulae originate from red giants when tl:e helium burning begins in the degenerate helium core is proposed and examined quantitatively. It is assumed that the shock wave is generated by the rapid core expansion which is caused by the removal of degeneracy at the helium core.

Molecules in planetary nebulae [PDF]
The study of molecules in planetary nebulae is still in its infancy; therefore, it is appropriate both to review existing knowledge and to anticipate developments that will arise as the subject matures. Briefly stated, this subject consists of observations of hydrogen, H2, and carbon monoxide, CO, molecules in a very few nebulae; the tentative ...
