H₂O (22 GHz) and SiO masers (43, 86, 129 GHz) in the bipolar proto-planetary nebula OH 231.8+4.2 were simultaneously monitored using the 21-m antennas of the Korean VLBI Network in 2009-2015. Both species exhibit periodic flux variations that correlate with the central star's optical light curve, with a phase delay of up to 0.15 for the maser flux variations with respect to the optical light curve. The flux densities of SiO v = 2, J = 1→0 and H₂O masers decrease with time, implying that they may disappear in 10-20 yr. However, there seems to have been a transient episode of intense H₂O maser emission around 2010. We also found a systematic behaviour in the velocity profiles of these masers. The velocities of the H₂O maser components appear to be remarkably constant, suggesting ballistic motion for the bipolar outflow in this nebula. On the other hand, those of the SiO maser clumps show a systematic radial acceleration of the individual clumps, converging to the outflow velocity of the H₂O maser clumps. Measuring the full widths at zero power of the detected lines, we estimated the expansion velocities of the compact bipolar outflow traced by H₂O maser and SiO thermal line, and discussed the possibility of the expanding SiO maser region in the equatorial direction. All of our analyses support that the central host star of OH231.8 is close to the tip of the AGB phase and that the mass-loss rate recently started to decrease because of incipient post-AGB evolution.

We have carried out optical spectroscopic measurements of emission lines for a sample of Galactic planetary nebulae with Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars and weak emission-line stars (wels). The plasma diagnostics and elemental abundance analysis have been done using both collisionally excited lines (CELs) and optical recombination lines (ORLs). It was found that the abundance discrepancy factors ($ADF{\equiv}ORL/CEL$) are closely correlated with the difference between temperatures derived from forbidden lines and those from $He\;{\small{I}}$ recombination lines, implying the existence of H-deficient materials embedded in the nebula. The $H{\beta}$ surface brightness correlations suggest that they might be also related to the nebular evolution.

Images taken with the Chandra X-ray telescope have for the the first time revealed the central, wind-driven, hot bubble (Chu et al. 2001), while Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFPC2 images of the Cat's Eye nebula, NGC 6543, show that the temperature of the halo region of angular radius ~ 20", is much higher than that of the inner bright H II region. With the coupling of a photoionization calculation to a hydrodynamic simulation, we predict the observed 〔O III〕 line intensities of the halo region with the same O abundance as in the core H II region: oxygen abundance gradient does not appear to exist in the NGC 6543 inner halo. An interaction between a (leaky) fast stellar wind and halo gas may cause the higher excitation temperatures in the halo region and the inner hot bubble region observed with the Chandra X-ray telescope.

이 논문에서는 Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory의 1.5미터 망원경에 설치된 에셸 분광기로부터 얻은 나비형 행성상 성운 M2-9의 분광 자료에 나타나는 6545 ${\AA}$의 방출선이 He II n = 6 -> n = 2 천이의 방출선이 수소 원자에 라만 산란되어 형성됨을 제안한다. 또한, 이 천체에서 He II의 방출선인 6560 ${\AA}$ (n = 6 -> n = 4)와 6527 ${\AA}$( n = 12 -> n = 5)이 분광 자료에 나타나지 않는다는 사실을 He II 방출선 지역이 뜨거운 백색 왜성 근처에서 형성되며, 광학적으로 두꺼운 성분에 쉽게 가려질 수 있지만, 증성 수소에 의한 라만 산란은 더 넓은 지역에서 형성되어 관측자 시선에 들어올 수 있음을 의미한다. 우리는 과이온화 모델을 사용하여, He II방출선 지역의 크기를 계한하였다. 이 계산의 결과로부터 우리는 중심별의 온도가 적어도 $10^5K$보다 더 뜨겁고, He II방출선 지역을 가리는 불투명한 성분의 크기가 $10^{16}cm$보다 크다고 추정한다. 이 크기는 M2-9까지 거리를 1 kpc으로 잡았을 때에 각거리로 1"로서, 허블 우주 망원경으로부터 알려진 적도면의 큰 소광을 일으키는 지역의 크기와 대체적으로 일치한다.

We present high-resolution near infrared (IR) spectra of two candidate planetary nebulae (PNe) that were serendipitously found toward the Galactic center (GC). Our spectra obtained using GNIRS on Gemini North reveal strong Br ♑ and He I recombination lines. In one of the targets, we confidently detect Pa ♌ emission. Based on Br ♑ and Pa ♌ lines, we estimate a foreground reddening to be Av=27 mag, which confidently puts this object at the GC distance. Along with the presence of highly excited emission lines such as [S IV], [Ne III], [Ne V], and [O IV] detected in the mid-IR spectra from the Spitzer Space Telescope, and the extended emission in the Pa ♋ narrow-band image from the Hubble Space Telescope, this makes it the first spectroscopically confirmed PN in the GC.

Raman-scattered He II features are known to be present in several young planetary nebulae (PNe) including NGC 7027, NGC 6302, IC 5117 and NGC 6790. These features provide a new spectroscopic window to probe both thick neutral regions and far UV regions near Lyman series. We carry out photoionization model calculations using 'CLOUDY' to explore He II emission strengths dependent on the physical conditions of the central star. The emission nebula is treated as a simple spherical shell with uniform density. It is found that detectable Raman-scattered He II are obtained for T∗ ~ 105 K in the presence of a thick neutral component. We present mock spectra exhibiting Raman He II features based on the photoionization calculations and compare them with observed data. We discuss effective strategies for searching young PNe with Raman-scattered He II emissivities.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) are investigated by means of the unidentified infrared (UIR) bands. Continuous near- to mid-infrared spectra of PNe are obtained with the AKARI/IRC and the Spitzer/IRS. All 19 PNe in the present study show prominent dust emissions and we investigate the variation in the intensity ratios among the UIR bands. The ionization fraction and the size distribution of PAHs in PNe are derived using the UIR band ratios. We find that the ionization fraction of PAHs in PNe is around 0.0-0.6 and that small PAHs are scarce. The present result indicates a systematic trend of the $3.4{\mu}m$ aliphatic feature to become weak as the PAH ionization fraction increases.
