Atmospheres of Central Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 September 2016
Extract
This review begins with a brief summary of atmospheric models that are of possible relevance to the central stars of planetary nebulae, and then discusses the extent to which these models accord with the observations of both nebulae and central stars. Particular attention is given to the significance of the very high Zanstra temperature implied by the nebular He II λ4686 Å line, and to the discrepancy between the Zanstra He II temperature and the considerably lower temperatures suggested by the appearance of the visual stellar spectrum for some of these objects.
