The secular evolution of planetary nebula IC 418 and its implications for carbon star formation

Albert A. Zijlstra, Quentin A. Parker

The rate of stellar evolution can rarely be measured in real time. The fastest evolution (excluding event-driven evolution), where stars may evolve measurably over decades, is duri…

FAST search for circumstellar atomic hydrogen. III. Planetary nebulae at Galactic latitudes |b|>10degree

Xu-Jia Ouyang, Yong Zhang, Albert Zijlstra +4

The detection of circumstellar atomic hydrogen (\ion{H}{1}) via the 21\,cm line remains a persistent challenge in planetary nebula (PN) studies, primarily due to contamination from…

ATOMIUM: Continuum emission and evidence of dust enhancement from binary motion

T. Danilovich, N. Samaratunge, Y. Mori +35

Low- and intermediate-mass stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) account for a significant portion of the dust and chemical enrichment in their host galaxy. Here we present AL…

The Structure of the Molecular Envelope of the Ring Nebula (NGC 6720)

Joel H. Kastner, David Wilner, Diana Ryder +5

We present the first interferometric imaging of molecular line emission from the Ring Nebula, NGC~6720, in the form of Submillimeter Array (SMA) observations of CO $J=2\rightarrow…

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…

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…
