Proto-Planetary Nebulae Are Not the Precursors of Planetary Nebulae With Close Binary Central Stars

Todd C. Hillwig, Bruce J. Hrivnak, David Jones

Proto-planetary nebulae are considered to be the evolutionary link between AGB stars and planetary nebulae. They possess many of the physical characteristics expected of such a lin…

Two hot pre-white dwarfs inside the red-giant-branch planetary nebula Pa 13 -- Double core evolution or common envelope-induced rejuvenation?

Nicole Reindl, David Jones, Todd Hillwig +4

Close binary central stars of PNe offer a unique window for investigating the conditions immediately following the ejection of a common envelope (CE). Double eclipsing and double-l…

Appraising the Necklace: A post-common-envelope carbon dwarf inside an apparently carbon-poor planetary nebula

David Jones, Romano L. M. Corradi, Gustavo A. García Pérez +15

Context: The Necklace nebula is a bipolar, post-common-envelope planetary nebula, the central star of which has been shown to have a dwarf carbon star companion. Aims: We aim to un…

Variability in Protoplanetary Nebulae: X. Multi-year Periods as an Indicator of Potential Binaries

Bruce J. Hrivnak, Wenxian Lu, Gary Henson +1

New observations are presented of four evolved objects that display long, multi-year variations in their light curves. These are interpreted as good evidence of their binary nature…

Post-red-giant-branch Planetary Nebulae

David Jones, Todd Hillwig, Nicole Reindl

Common envelope events have been associated with the formation of a planetary nebulae since its proposition more than forty five years ago. However, until recently there have been…

Variability in Proto-Planetary Nebulae: VIII. A New Sample of Southern Hemisphere Objects

Bruce J. Hrivnak, Gary Henson, Todd C. Hillwig +5

As part of our continuing study of light variability in proto-planetary nebulae (PPNe), we present the results from a long-term study of nine southern hemisphere objects. We have m…
