SINGLE ROTATING STARS AND THE FORMATION OF BIPOLAR PLANETARY NEBULA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We have computed new stellar evolution models that include the effects of rotation and magnetic torques under different hypotheses. The goal is to test whether a single star can sustain the rotational velocities needed in the envelope for ...

Planetary nebulae: a key tool to reconstruct the evolutionary history of stars

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
Planetary nebulae, among the most fascinating objects in the sky, have been extensively investigated in the past years, because their study provides important information on the low and intermediate mass stellar populations of the host environment ...

Discovery of a planetary nebula surrounding the symbiotic star DT Serpentis

open access: yes, 2013
We report the discovery of a planetary nebula centered on the poorly studied symbiotic binary star DT Ser. In a few other symbiotic stars spatially resolved nebulae have been discovered: however, only one of them might be a genuine planetary nebula ...

Evaluating Investment in Space Programs: A Case for Theoretical Pluralism

open access: yesFinancial Accountability &Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A perennial question repeatedly asked since the early Mercury (USA) and Salyut (then Soviet Union) space programs has been variations on the theme of “how can the cost of space exploration be justified?” This question—which in broad terms constitutes the research question considered in this paper—continues to be directed toward space agencies ...

X-ray Shaping of Planetary Nebulae

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
The stellar winds of the central stars of planetary nebulae play an essential role in the shaping of planetary nebulae. In the interacting stellar winds model, the fast stellar wind injects energy and momentum, which are transferred to the nebular ...

AAOmega radial velocities rule out current membership of the planetary nebula NGC 2438 in the open cluster M46

open access: yes, 2008
We present new radial velocity measurements of 586 stars in a one-degree field centered on the open cluster M46, and the planetary nebula NGC 2438 located within a nuclear radius of the cluster.

Decisions Under Radical Uncertainty: The Role of Volitional Liminality in Radical Innovation

open access: yesJournal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Academic Summary Radical innovation management can be understood as an organizational practice that enacts distant futures, which are open‐ended and unknowable. Such radical innovation endeavors are thus characterized by radical uncertainty, where possible futures are not only quantitatively but qualitatively different from the present, and ...

Discovery of Radial Spectral Hardening in the Hot Bubble of Planetary Nebula BD+30°3639 with Median Energy Imaging

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We apply an imaging analysis technique to study the spatial distribution of the X-ray spectral hardness across the hot bubble of planetary nebula BD+30°3639.

Binary Interactions, High-Speed Outflows and Dusty Disks during the AGB-To-PN Transition

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
It is widely believed that the dramatic transformation of the spherical outflows of AGB stars into the extreme aspherical geometries seen during the planetary nebula (PN) phase is linked to binarity and driven by the associated production of fast jets ...

Morphology and Composition of the Helix Nebula [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We present new narrow-band filter imagery in H-alpha and [N II] 6584 along with UV and optical spectrophotometry measurements from 1200 to 9600 Angstroms of NGC 7293, the Helix Nebula, a nearby, photogenic planetary nebula of large diameter and low ...
