Near-infrared speckle imaging and AO polarimetry of the bipolar proto-planetary nebula
IRAS 09371+1212 is an oxygen-rich post-asymptotic giant branch (postAGB) star with an hourglass-like bipolar proto-planetary nebula (PPN), and has been well studied since its discovery because of several interesting peculiarities. It is also known as Frosty Leo because its unique, strong peak at 60 μm in the IRAS photometry was initially proposed to be due to emissions from water ice which cond...
متن کاملDiffraction-limited bispectrum speckle interferometry and speckle polarimetry of the young bipolar outflow source S140 IRS1
We present bispectrum speckle interferometry and speckle polarimetry of the deeply embedded infrared bipolar outflow source S140 IRS1, a massive protostellar object in the L1204 molecular cloud. Using the SAO 6 m telescope, we obtained 280 mas resolution polarization maps of S140 IRS1 as well as a K-band image with diffraction-limited resolution λ/D of 76 mas, which is the highest angular resol...
متن کاملHigh resolution millimeter imaging of the proto-planetary nebula
We report high resolution (1′′–2′′) imaging of the CO 2–1 line and the millimeter continuum in the proto-planetary nebula He 3-1475. The observations reveal the presence of a massive (∼ 0.6 M⊙) envelope of molecular gas around the origin of the remarkable bipolar jet system seen in optical images with the HST. The CO kinematics are well modeled by an expanding, bi-conical envelope: the prominen...
متن کاملBispectrum speckle interferometry of the B[e] star MWC349A
We present the results of bispectrum speckle interferometry of the B[e] star MWC 349A obtained with the SAO 6m telescope. Our diffraction-limited J-, H-, and K-band images (resolutions 43–74 mas) suggest the star is surrounded by a circumstellar disk seen almost edge-on. The observed visibility shape is consistent with a two-component elliptical disk model, probably corresponding to the gaseous...
متن کاملThe Shaping of the Red Rectangle Proto-planetary Nebula
I argue that the slowly expanding biconical structure of the Red Rectangle−a nebula around the post asymptotic giant branch binary stellar system HD 44179−can be formed by intermittent jets blown by the accreting companion. The bright biconical structure of the Red Rectangle nebula can be understood to be composed of a multiple double-ring system. In the proposed shaping process, one among seve...
