Interaction of Planetary Nebulae by the Interstellar Medium
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 August 2017
Abstract
Interaction of planetary nebulae (PNe) with the interstellar medium (ISM) is quite common, in accord with our understanding of the large-scale structure of the ISM. The characteristic signature of the interaction is a dipole asymmetry resulting from a distortion and compression of the nebula in the direction of stellar motion. Studies of interacting PNe provide us with information on the structure of the ISM, and on the evolution of old PNe and PN halos.
