Using kinematic properties of pre-planetary nebulae to constrain engine paradigms

Using kinematic properties of pre-planetary nebulae to constrain engine paradigms

Abstract Some combination of binary interactions and accretion plausibly conspire to produce the ubiquitous collimated outflows from planetary nebulae (PN) and their presumed pre-PN (PPN) precursors. But which accretion engines are viable? The difficulty in observationally resolving the engines warrants the pursuit of indirect constraints. We show how kinematic outflow …
