Red Giant Mass Loss and Planetary Nebula Formation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
It is generally believed that red giant mass loss plays some role in the formation of planetary nebulae (PNe), but the connection is not clearly understood. To investigate this issue we have undertaken an extensive search for molecular gas in PNe, which is likely to be remnant material of the red giant wind not yet ionized by the central star. The search has been carried out with the NRAO 12 m telescope in the 1.3 mm line of 00 which is widely observable in the molecular winds of red giants.
