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…

Current Unsolved Problems in Planetary Nebulae Research

Sun Kwok, Bruce Balick, You-Hua Chu +5

While there has been significant progress in our understanding of the origin and evolu-tion of planetary nebulae in the last 50 years, there remain several unsolved problems. These…

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…

Variability in Protoplanetary Nebulae: IX. Evidence for Evolution in a Decade

Bruce J. Hrivnak, Wenxian Lu, William C. Bakke +1

We have carried out a new photometric V,Rc study of 12 protoplanetary nebulae, objects in the short-lived transition between the AGB and PN phases of stellar evolution. These had b…

Luminosities and masses of single Galactic Post-Asymptotic Giant Branch (Post-AGB) stars with distances from EDR3: The revelation of an -process diversity

Devika Kamath, Hans Van Winckel, Paolo Ventura +4

Post-AGB stars are exquisite probes of AGB nucleosynthesis. However, the previous lack of accurate distances jeopardised comparison with theoretical AGB models. The Early Da…

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…
