Planetary Nebulae: Advances in Radio Observations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 September 2016
Extract
The most recent review on planetary nebulae at radio wavelengths appeared in 1974 by Thompson. Previous summaries were given by Terzian (1968) and Higgs (1973). Major advances in this subject include extensive continuum observations at 5 GHz of southern planetary nebulae; the highly successful aperture synthesis observations providing brightness temperature distributions with a resolution of a few arc seconds; the high sensitivity observations of radio recombination lines which have allowed the unambiguous detection of collisional broadening in NGC 7027; the very recent detection of molecular CO emission from NGC 7027, IC 418 and NGC 6543, and CO and OH emission from possible proto-planetary nebulae.
