Surveying Planetary Nebulae Central Stars for Close Binaries: Constraining Evolution of Central Stars Based on Binary Parameters [PDF]

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
The increase in discovered close binary central stars of planetary nebulae is leading to a sufficiently large sample to begin to make broader conclusions about the effect of close binary stars on common envelope evolution and planetary nebula formation ...

Planetary Nebulae Research: Past, Present, and Future [PDF]

open access: yesGalaxies
We review the evolution of our understanding of the planetary nebulae phenomenon and their place in the scheme of stellar evolution. The historical steps leading to our current understanding of central star evolution and nebular formation are discussed ...

Lessons from the Ionised and Molecular Mass of Post-CE PNe

open access: yesGalaxies, 2022
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 ...

Binary Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae

open access: yesGalaxies, 2020
It is now clear that a vast majority of intermediate-mass stars have stellar and/or sub-stellar companions, therefore it is no longer appropriate to consider planetary nebulae as a single-star phenomenon, although some single, isolated stars may well ...

PHL 932: When Is a Planetary Nebula Not a Planetary Nebula? [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2010
AbstractThe emission nebula around the subdwarf B (sdB) star PHL 932 is currently classified as a planetary nebula (PN) in the literature. Based on a large body of multi-wavelength data, both new and previously published, we show here that this low-excitation nebula is in fact a small Strömgren sphere (Hii region) in the interstellar medium around this

Shaping of Planetary Nebulae by Exoplanets

open access: yesGalaxies, 2020
(1) Background: We investigate the hypothesis that exoplanet engulfment can help explain the observed non-spherical planetary nebula population, as a complementary shaping mechanism to the binary hypothesis.

CO in Planetary Nebulae [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1987
We report the first detection of millimeter CO emission in two highly evolved planetary nebulae: NGC 6720 and NGC 7293. The CO is a useful probe of the structure and kinematics of the molecular gas in the nebulae, and provides an estimate of the mass of material which remains un-ionized by the central star.
