Péquignot et al. (1997) reported the discovery of a broad spectral feature to the blueward of Hβ, centred at a wavelength of 4852Å, in NGC 7027. This was conclusively shown to arise from the Raman scattering of He++ (2–8) UV photons by neutral H, and was the first detection in a planetary nebula. Raman scattering features had previously been observed in symbiotic stars: Raman scattering of O VI by neutral H was discovered by Schmid (1992) and also found for He II by van Groningen (1993). The large width of the resulting feature is mainly due to the conservation of the line width in frequency during the scattering process.
