Lights in the Shadows, 3D-modelling knots with MOCASSIN
Most of the enveloppes of Planetary Nebulae (and other objects like novae) are far from beeing homogeneous: clumps, knots and tails are often observed. We present here the first attempt to build a 3D-photoionization model of a knot and the corresponding tail, ionized by diffused radiation issuing from surrounding material.
متن کاملFLIERs as stagnation knots from post-AGB winds with polar momentum deficiency
We present an alternative model for the formation of fast low-ionization emission regions (FLIERs) in planetary nebulae that is able to account for many of their attendant characteristics and circumvent the problems on the collimation/formation mechanisms found in previous studies. In this model, the section of the stellar wind flowing along the symmetry axis carries less mechanical momentum th...
متن کاملThe Physical Parameters and Excitation of Jets and Knots in PNe
We are carrying out a study of the physical parameters and excitation of low-ionization structures (LIS) in planetary nebulae (PNe). Since the optical morphology and kinematics of the LIS and the main components (rims, shells and haloes) of our sample were studied previously, our main goal now is to search for: i) the density contrasts between jets/knots and the main nebular components; ii) the...
متن کاملStagnation Knots in Precessing Jets
The problem of the formation of a stagnation knot in the head of a precessing stellar jet is investigated from both an analytical and numerical point of view. This dense structure is formed via a similar method to that proposed by Steffen (these proceedings) for the formation of FLIERS in planetary nebulae. Initial results suggest that the formation of a stagnation knot is possibly an intrinsic...
متن کاملBubbles in Planetary Nebulae and Clusters of Galaxies: Precessing Jets
I derive the condition for narrow jets with varying axis, e.g., precessing jets, to inflate more or less spherical (fat) bubbles in planetary nebulae and clusters of galaxies. This work follows a previous work dealing with wide jets, i.e., having a wide opening angle. The expressions derive here are qualitatively and quantitatively similar to the conditions for inflating fat bubbles by non-prec...
