  • The Fall of the Youngest Planetary Nebula, Hen3-1357
    IOP Publishing Submitted in this form to ApJ 3 Sept 2020 Astrophysical Journal ApJ (XXXX) XXXXXX https://doi.org/XXXX/XXXX The Fall of the Youngest Planetary Nebula, Hen3-1357 Bruce Balick1*, Martín A. Guerrero2, Gerardo Ramos-Larios3 1 Department of Astronomy, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195-1580, USA 2 Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), Glorieta de la Astronomía S/N, 18008 Granada, Spain 3 Instituto de Astronomía y Meteorología, Universidad de Guadalajara, 44130 Guadalajara, Mexico *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received xxxxxx Accepted for publication xxxxxx Published xxxxxx Abstract The Stingray Nebula, aka Hen3-1357, went undetected until 1990 when bright nebular lines and radio emission were unexpectedly discovered. We report changes in shape and rapid and secular decreases in its nebular emission-line fluxes based on well calibrated images obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1996, 2000, and 2016. Hen3-1357 is now a “recombination nebula”. Keywords: planetary nebulae: Planetary nebulae (1249), Post-asymptotic giant branch stars (2121), Ionization (2068) 1. Introduction Planetary nebulae (“PNe”) consist of stellar gas ejected in winds from the surfaces of post Asymptotic Branch Giant (“AGB”) stars. The winds systematically expose deeper and much hotter interior stellar layers until stellar energetic ultraviolet (“UV”) begins to ionize the ejected gas. The PN radiates a rich, luminous, and readily detectable set of emission lines (e.g., 6) as electron recombinations with H+ and He+ and optical forbidden lines of N+, O+, O++, S+, etc. These lines become increasingly visible by about a millennium after the winds begin as the central star shifts towards higher temperatures > 40 kK.

  • Astronomers Observe Star Reborn in a Flash 13 September 2016
    Astronomers observe star reborn in a flash 13 September 2016 astronomers have observed an exception to this rule. "SAO 244567 is one of the rare examples of a star that allows us to witness stellar evolution in real time", explains Nicole Reindl from the University of Leicester, UK, lead author of the study. "Over only twenty years the star has doubled its temperature and it was possible to watch the star ionising its previously ejected envelope, which is now known as the Stingray Nebula." SAO 244567, 2700 light-years from Earth, is the central star of the Stingray Nebula and has been visibly evolving between observations made over the last 45 years. Between 1971 and 2002 the surface temperature of the star skyrocketed by almost 40 000 degrees Celsius. Now new observations made with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have revealed that SAO 244567 has started to cool and expand. This image of the Stingray nebula, a planetary nebula This is unusual, though not unheard-of, and the 2400 light-years from Earth, was taken with the Wide rapid heating could easily be explained if one Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) in 1998. In the assumed that SAO 244567 had an initial mass of 3 centre of the nebula the fast evolving star SAO 244567 to 4 times the mass of the Sun. However, the data is located. Observations made within the last 45 years show that SAO 244567 must have had an original showed that the surface temperature of the star mass similar to that of our Sun.

Two composite Hubble images of the Sting Ray Nebula taken in 1996 and 2016 in (R:G:B) = (F658N,F656N,F502N) = the emission lines of ([N ii], Hα, [O iii]). Both images are shown with the same absolute intensities in each filter. Nebular emission from Hen3-1357, the youngest planetary nebula (Bobrowsky, 1994, ApJ, 426, L47), unexpectedly appeared sometime during the 1980s (Parthasarathy et al. 1993, A&A, 267, 19). Since then the central star has rapidly faded (e.g., Schaefer & Edwards, 2015, ApJ, 812, 133). The integrated emission fluxes of these three lines in the images above decreased by factors of 0.20, 0.37, and 0.6, respectively, over 20 years. As expected, the rates of fading are much higher in regions of highest emission measure as N+, H+, and O++ recombine. See Balick et al. in this issue. 1 Editorial Dear Colleagues, It is a pleasure to present you the 279th issue of the AGB Newsletter.

  • Popular Names of Deep Sky (Galaxies,Nebulae and Clusters) Viciana’S List
    POPULAR NAMES OF DEEP SKY (GALAXIES,NEBULAE AND CLUSTERS) VICIANA’S LIST 2ª version August 2014 There isn’t any astronomical guide or star chart without a list of popular names of deep sky objects. Given the huge amount of celestial bodies labeled only with a number, the popular names given to them serve as a friendly anchor in a broad and complicated science such as Astronomy The origin of these names is varied. Some of them come from mythology (Pleiades); others from their discoverer; some describe their shape or singularities; (for instance, a rotten egg, because of its odor); and others belong to a constellation (Great Orion Nebula); etc. The real popular names of celestial bodies are those that for some special characteristic, have been inspired by the imagination of astronomers and amateurs. The most complete list is proposed by SEDS (Students for the Exploration and Development of Space). Other sources that have been used to produce this illustrated dictionary are AstroSurf, Wikipedia, Astronomy Picture of the Day, Skymap computer program, Cartes du ciel and a large bibliography of THE NAMES OF THE UNIVERSE. If you know other name of popular deep sky objects and you think it is important to include them in the popular names’ list, please send it to [email protected] with at least three references from different websites. If you have a good photo of some of the deep sky objects, please send it with standard technical specifications and an optional comment. It will be published in the names of the Universe blog. It could also be included in the ILLUSTRATED DICTIONARY OF POPULAR NAMES OF DEEP SKY.

  • Notes Compiled by Paul Woodward Department of Astronomy University
    Stars Notes compiled by Paul Woodward Department of Astronomy University of Minnesota This week, we will be discussing the way astronomers and astrophysicists have been able to develop a detailed understanding of the structure and evolution of stars. A key point to appreciate is the inability of astronomers to observe this evolution as it proceeds, since the time for a star to evolve from birth to death can be billions of years. We can only see a snapshot of the heavens during our lifetimes. We must therefore assume that much of the variety that we observe comes from catching the stars in different stages of their evolution. How we have sorted out which differences are due to evolution and which are due to fundamental differences in the objects involved is a fascinating story. The process of understanding the stars began very simply by trying to classify them in a number of different ways. The first classification was by apparent brightness. However, the brightness of a star is largely an accident of its distance from us. If our brightness categories are to have any close relationship with properties of the stars themselves, and not just of where they happen to be located, then we need to remove the distance factor. We need to classify the stars by luminosity, the amount of energy they radiate per unit time in all directions, not by apparent brightness. The total luminosity is the energy radiated per unit time in all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. The apparent brightness of a star decreases as the inverse square of the distance to the star.
