High-Resolution Imaging of Objects in the Post-AGB to Planetary Nebula Transition
We have obtained high-resolution images of two carbon-rich objects that are undergoing the transition from post-AGB star to planetary nebula: IRAS 21282+5050 (hereafter IRAS 21282), a young planetary nebula, and AFGL 3068, a post-AGB star with a high mass-loss rate. Detailed structure is seen in IRAS 21282. A torus of dust, with its polar axis in the N-S direction, surrounds the central star, i...
متن کاملALMA Observations of the Water Fountain Pre-Planetary Nebula IRAS 16342-3814: High-Velocity Bipolar Jets and an Expanding Torus.
We have mapped 12CO J=3-2 and other molecular lines from the "water-fountain" bipolar pre-planetary nebula (PPN) IRAS 16342-3814 with [Formula: see text] resolution using ALMA. We find (i) two very high-speed knotty, jet-like molecular outflows, (ii) a central high-density (> few × 106 cm-3), expanding torus of diameter 1300 AU, and (iii) the circumstellar envelope of the progenitor AGB, genera...
متن کاملMaser emission in planetary nebulae
Stars at the top of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) can exhibit maser emission from molecules like SiO, H2O and OH. These masers appear in general stratified in the envelope, with the SiO masers close to the central star and the OH masers farther out in the envelope. As the star evolves to the planetary nebula (PN) phase, mass-loss stops and ionization of the envelope begins, making the maser...
متن کاملPrecessing Collimated Outflows in the Planetary Nebula Ic 4846
We present [N ii] and Hα images and high resolution long–slit spectra of the planetary nebula IC4846, which reveal, for the first time, its complex structure and the existence of collimated outflows. The object consists of a moderately elongated shell, two (and probably three) pairs of collimated bipolar outflows at different orientations, and an attached circular shell. One of the collimated p...
متن کاملA fast bipolar H2 outflow from IRAS 16342-3814: an old star reliving its youth
Some evolved stars in the pre-planetary nebula phase produce highly-collimated molecular outflows that resemble the accretion-driven jets and outflows from pre-main sequence stars. We show that IRAS 16342-3814 (the Water Fountain Nebula) is such an object and present K-band integral field spectroscopy revealing a fast (> 150 km s) bipolar H2 outflow. The H2 emission is shock excited and may ari...
