Kinematics and dynamics of galactic Planetary Nebulae
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Extract
Planetary Nebulae (PNe) are transient objects of considerable astrophysical interest: there are thought to descend from low and intermediate initial mass stars and therefore cover a large range of ages. On the other hand there are easily identified thanks to their bright emission-line spectra. In view of this it is perhaps surprising that little use has been made of PNe for kinematical studies of the Milky Way.
