Emission Lines from Jets in Planetary Nebulae
نویسنده
چکیده
Emission line profiles from collimated high-velocity outflows or jets in planetary nebulae (PNe) have diverse characteristics that indicate the influence of binary cores and magnetic confinement mechanisms in their origin. In this contribution, a number of cases are presented that exemplify the complexity of these outflows in PNe.

A CO Survey of Young Planetary Nebulae
We report the results of a sensitive survey of young planetary nebulae in the CO J = 2− 1 line that significantly increases the available data on warm, dense, molecular gas in the early phases of planetary nebula formation. The observations were made using the IRAM 30 m telescope with the 3×3 pixel Heterodyne Receiver Array (HERA). The array provides an effective means of discriminating the CO ...
متن کاملIndependent Emission and Absorption Abundances for Planetary Nebulae
Emission-line abundances have been uncertain for more than a decade due to unexplained discrepancies in the relative intensities of the forbidden lines and weak permitted recombination lines in planetary nebulae (PNe) and H II regions. The observed intensities of forbidden and recombination lines originating from the same parent ion differ from their theoretical values by factors of more than a...
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...
متن کاملBubbles in Planetary Nebulae and Clusters of Galaxies: Jet Bending
We study the bending of jets in binary stellar systems. A compact companion accretes mass from the slow wind of the mass-losing primary star, forms an accretion disk, and blows two opposite jets. These fast jets are bent by the slow wind. Disregarding the orbital motion, we find the dependence of the bending angle on the properties of the slow wind and the jets. Bending of jets is observed in p...
متن کاملNarrow - Band Imaging of Bipolar Planetary Nebulae
We present near-IR narrow-band continuum-subtracted images in the H2 2:122 m, and Br 2:166 m emission lines for a sample of 15 bipolar planetary nebulae. H2 emission was definitely detected for most of the objects in this sample (13 out of 15). The very high H2 detection rate supports the idea that bipolar planetary nebulae have important reservoirs of molecular material and offer suitable phys...
