Expansion Velocities of [NII] and [OIII] from Compact Planetary Nebulae
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Extract
We observed the expansion velocities, Vexp[NII] and Vexp[OIII] of angularly small planetary nebulae(PNe) and examined the relations between expansion velocities and distance free parameters like relative emission line intensities of HeIIλ4686, [OIII]A5007, and [NII]λ6583. The expansion velocities of PNe are usually obtained from the emission lines of [OIII]λ5007. But these quantities obtained from [NII]λ6583 are more suitable to investigate the evolution of PNe because 0++ region is confined within inner part for lower and intermediate excitation PNe.
