FAST search for circumstellar atomic hydrogen. IV. bubbles associated with planetary nebulae
Jun-Yang Liu, Yong Zhang, Xu-Jia Ouyang
Investigating the bubbles generated by the interaction between asymptotic giant branch stellar outflows and the interstellar medium (ISM) is pivotal for elucidating the mechanism b…
The Missing Giant: Do FAST Spectroscopic Observations Reveal a Scarcity of Large Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Astronomical Environments?
Yi Shao, Yong Zhang, Xu-Jia Ouyang +1
The search for large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with over 100 carbon atoms is crucial to resolving the origin of unidentified infrared emission (UIE) bands. These band…
FAST detection of OH emission in the carbon-rich planetary nebula NGC 7027
Xu-Jia Ouyang, Yong Zhang, Chuan-Peng Zhang +8
We present the first detection of the ground-state OH emission line at 1612 MHz toward the prototypical carbon-rich planetary nebula (PN) NGC 7027, utilizing the newly installed ul…
Excited-State OH Masers in the Water Fountain Source IRAS 18460-0151
Xu-Jia Ouyang, Yong Zhang, Juan Li +3
Water fountain objects are generally defined as "evolved stars with low to intermediate initial mass accompanied by high-velocity molecular jets detectable in the 22.235 GHz HO…
