M1-92: AGB interruption and isotopic ratio paradox. Chemistry and morpho-kinematics from improved shapemol modelling

E. Masa, J. Alcolea, M. Santander-García +5

The shaping of planetary nebulae on their evolution from asymptotic giant branch circumstellar envelopes to their final, most often axisymmetrical, form is still a process with man…

CH3CCH as a thermometer in warm molecular gas

Yuqiang Li, Junzhi Wang, Juan Li +9

Kinetic temperature is a fundamental parameter in molecular clouds. Symmetric top molecules, such as NH and CHCCH, are often used as thermometers. However, at high temperat…

Probing the Molecular Hearts of Extreme Bipolar Planetary Nebulae with ALMA

Paula Moraga Baez, Joel H. Kastner, Jesse Bublitz +6

We present results from a program of Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) 1.3 mm (Band 6) molecular line mapping of a sample of nearby, bipolar/pinched-waist, molecule-rich PNe (N…

JWST/NIRCam imaging of the Bipolar Planetary Nebula NGC 6537: the (Infra)red Spider, Revealed

Joel Kastner, Paula Moraga Baez, Bruce Balick +5

We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) near-infrared (NIRCam) Br, H, [Fe II], and PAH imaging of the molecule-rich, high-excitation bipolar planetary nebula (PN) NGC 6…

High-Speed Outflows and Dusty Disks during the AGB to PN Transition: The PANORAMA survey

Raghvendra Sahai, Javier Alcolea, Bruce Balick +15

As mass-losing asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars evolve to planetary nebulae (PNe), the mass outflow geometries transform from nearly spherical to extreme aspherical. The physica…

A Yebes W band Line Survey towards an Unshocked Molecular Cloud of Supernova Remnant 3C391: Evidence of Cosmic-Ray-Induced Chemistry

Tian-Yu Tu, Prathap Rayalacheruvu, Liton Majumdar +3

Cosmic rays (CRs) have strong influences on the chemistry of dense molecular clouds (MCs). To study the detailed chemistry induced by CRs, we conducted a Yebes W band line survey t…

A 3 mm spectral line study of the Central Molecular Zone infrared dark cloud G1.75-0.08

Oskari Miettinen, Miguel Santander-García

Infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) are fruitful objects to study the fragmentation of interstellar filaments and initial conditions and early stages of high-mass ( M) star…

ALMA Observations of Molecular Line Emission from High-excitation Bipolar Planetary Nebulae

Paula Moraga Baez, Joel H. Kastner, Jesse Bublitz +7

We present early results from our program of ALMA Band 6 (1.3mm) molecular line mapping of a sample of nearby, well-studied examples of high-excitation, bipolar/pinched-waist and m…

Morpho-kinematical modelling in the molecular zoo beyond CO: the case of M 1-92

M. Santander-García, E. Masa, J. Alcolea +1

Ongoing improvements of sub-mm- and mm-range interferometers and single-dish radiotelescopes are progressively allowing the detailed study of planetary nebulae (PNe) in molecular s…

On the circumstellar envelopes of semi-regular long-period variables

J. J. Díaz-Luis, J. Alcolea, V. Bujarrabal +3

The mass loss process along the AGB phase is crucial for the formation of circumstellar envelopes (CSEs), which in the post-AGB phase will evolve into planetary nebulae (PNe). Ther…

Through the magnifying glass: ALMA acute viewing of the intricate nebular architecture of OH231.8+4.2

C. Sánchez Contreras, J. Alcolea, A. Castro-Carrizo +4

We present continuum and molecular line emission ALMA observations of OH 231.8+4.2, a well studied bipolar nebula around an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star. The high angular res…

The maser emitting structure and time variability of the SiS lines J=14-13 and 15-14 in IRC+10216

J. P. Fonfría, M. Fernández-López, J. R. Pardo +8

We present new high angular resolution interferometer observations of the v=0 J=14-13 and 15-14 SiS lines towards IRC+10216, carried out with CARMA and ALMA. The maps, with angular…
