From the owl to the eskimo: the radiation-gasdynamics of planetary nebulae iv
We present the results of two-dimensional radiation-gasdynamic simulations of aspherical Planetary Nebulae (PNe) evolution. These simulations were constructed using the Generalized Interacting Stellar Winds (GISW) scenario of Balick (1987) where a fast, tenuous wind from the central star expands int...

We present the results of two-dimensional radiation-gasdynamic simulations of aspherical Planetary Nebulae (PNe) evolution. These simulations were constructed using the Generalized Interacting Stellar Winds (GISW) scenario of Balick (1987) where a fast, tenuous wind from the central star expands into a toroidal, slow, dense wind. We demonstrate that the GISW model can produce a wide range of aspherical flow patterns. We have constructed self-consistent synthetic observations of the models from forbidden line emissivities used in the energy loss term. We present integrated intensity and long-slit spectrum, (Position-Velocity) maps of the models projected at different angles on the sky. These synthetic observations are compared with real intensity and Position-Velocity maps of PNe.

From the results of these simulations we conclude that the GISW scenario can account for most, if not all, PNe morphologies, thus confirming Balick's (1987) conjecture. |
