Presentation Transcript

  1. Structure of circumstellar envelope around AGB and post-AGB stars Dinh-V-Trung Sun Kwok, P.J. Chiu, M.Y. Wang, S. Muller, A. Lo, N. Hirano, M. Mariappan, J. Lim Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics Academia Sinica

  2. Introduction • Intermediate mass stars (1 M to 8 M) evolve through Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) and eventually become Planetary Nebulae (PN) • Mass loss during the AGB phase: 107 to 104 M/yr Morphology of envelope AGB phase: spherically symmetric PPN phase: Bipolar more common PN phase: wide variety of shapes Shaping must occur either at the end of AGB phase or during the short transition stage (proto-planetary nebula PPN).

  3. Program to study the structure of envelopes with the Sub-millimeter Array IRC+10216 CIT 6 R Scl V Hya Pi Gru IRC+10420 VY CMa IRAS 07134+1005 NGC 7027

  4. Envelope around AGB stars is commonly assumed to be spherically symmetric & homogeneous. But in reality the envelope is complicated & interesting ! V - band 1.3 mm dust continuum emission in IRC+10216 Maurron & Huggins (1999) Groenewegen et al. (1997)

  5. IRC+10216 Lucas & Guelin (1999) VLA data of HC5N J=98 at 23 GHz. Synthesized beam ~ 4 arcsec.

  6. SMA CO J=21 emission from R Scl Detached shell !

  7. CO J=21 Detached shell: Vexp ~ 15 km/s Present day wind: Vexp ~ 10 km/s Helium flash ? Dynamical age ~ 1700 yr

  8.  Gru CO J=2-1 emission Disk & high velocity outflow are present in envelope of a normal AGB star. Poster by Chiu et al. 2005

  16. NGC 7027 • Brightest planetary nebula at all wavelengths • Distance ~ 900 pc • Central white dwarf T* ~ 198000 K • Young HII region surrounded by massive molecular envelope. • Rich in molecular lines and carbon chemistry

  17. HST optical images in H, OIII & NII. HST near IR images

  18. CONTINUUM @ 345 GHz Beam : 1.71’’ x 0.85’’ (73°) Total flux : ~ 1.45 Jy @230 GHz Beam : 2.65’’ x 1.52’’ (77°) Total flux : ~ 3.6 Jy JCMT : 3.8  0.2 Jy (Knapp et al. 1993)
