Abstract

Based on a new sample of (IRAS based) OH/IR stars, and a catalogue of planetary nebulae compiled by Acker (1983), we study the relation between these two groups of objects, in terms of the kinematics and the Galactic distribution. In contrast with earlier analyses of samples of OH/IR stars, we find a close correlation between the kinematics of the planetary nebulae and the IRAS based sample of OH/IR stars. In particular, we find that the distribution of the planetary nebulae (PN) shows a good correlation with the OH/IR stars which have a low outflow velocity (Vexp < 12.5 km s−1). Whether the high outflow velocity OH/IR stars also have a counterpart among PN is not clear.
