Concerning the Temperatures of Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 September 2017
Extract
Recently Pottasch (1981, Astron. Astrophys. 94, L13) published extremely high effective temperatures of some central stars of planetary nebulae (> 200 000 K). Our study of planetary nebulae based on photoelectric photometry does not confirm his results. A histogram of Tz(HI) and Tz(HeII) shows smooth distribution of Tz with the maximum of about 48 000°K (HI) and 90 000°K (HeII), respectively; the effective temperature of none of the 62 planetary nuclei exceeds 120 000°K.
