Stellar evolution from AGB to planetary nebulae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Planetary nebulae are formed by an interacting winds process where the remnant of the AGB wind is compressed and accelerated by a later-developed fast wind from the central star.

Detection of CH in the O-rich Planetary Nebula NGC 6302

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Planetary nebulae are sites where ejected stellar material evolves into complex molecules, but the precise physical conditions and chemical routes that govern these processes are unclear.

On the Origin of Morphological Structures of Planetary Nebulae

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
We suggest that most of the mass in planetary nebulae (PNe) resides in the equatorial region and the spherical envelope and the optically bright lobes of PNe are in fact low-density cavities cleared out by fast outflows and photoionized by UV photons ...

Automatic Derivation of Statistical Data Analysis Algorithms: Planetary Nebulae and Beyond

open access: yes, 2004
AUTOBAYES is a fully automatic program synthesis system for the data analysis domain. Its input is a declarative problem description in form of a statistical model; its output is documented and optimized C/C++ code.

Discovering Planetary Nebula Geometries: Explorations with a Hierarchy of Models

open access: yes, 2004
Astronomical objects known as planetary nebulae (PNe) consist of a shell of gas expelled by an aging star. In cases where the gas shell can be assumed to be ellipsoidal, the PN can be easily modeled in three spatial dimensions.

Morphological structures of planetary nebulae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Since various structural components of planetary nebulae (PN) manifest themselves differently, a combination of optical, infrared, submillimetre and radio techniques is needed to derive a complete picture of planetary nebulae.

Radial velocities of planetary nebulae towards the Galactic bulge

open access: yes, 1997
Accurate radial velocities for a sample of 71 planetary nebulae, mostly located in the direction of the Galactic Centre, are presented. Most of the nebulae discussed in this paper are likely members of the Galactic bulge, based on their radial velocity ...

Primer on Formation and Evolution of Hydrogen-Deficient Central Stars of Planetary Nebulæ and Related Objects

open access: yesGalaxies
We present a brief review of the formation and evolution of hydrogen-deficient central stars of planetary nebulae. We include a detailed description of the main observable features of both the central stars and their surrounding nebulae and review their ...

The 3D structure of the Ring nebula

open access: yes, 2009
The Ring nebula (M57) is one of the closest and best observed planetary nebulae. Still, its structure remains controversial. Based on detailed spectroscopic observations of the kinematics we present a solution generated with SHAPE to the 3D structure of ...

Absolute spectrophotometry of northern compact planetary nebulae

open access: yes, 2005
We present medium-dispersion spectra and narrowband images of six northern compact planetary nebulae (PNe): BoBn
