Dust in Planetary Nebulae: Observational Considerations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 September 2016
Extract
The question of dust in planetary nebulae dates back a decade to the first then unexpected discoveries of strong infrared (IR) excesses in planetary nebulae (Gillett et al. 1967; Woolf 1969; Gillett and Stein 1969, 1970; Neugebauer and Garmire 1970; Willner et al. 1972). It has been clear from the outset that a substantial fraction, if not most, of the nebular luminosity is somehow converted to IR radiation by the dust. Two important questions are whether, and to what extent, dust influences the ionization structure and chemical properties of the nebula.
