abstract:

    line_1:        Observations of planetary nebulae utilizing the WF/PC are based upon the high
    line_2:        angular resolution. Structure at the level of E+14 cm is seen in only one
    line_3:        planetary NGC7293, Helix nebula. It is in the size range from E+14 to E+15 cm
    line_4:        that the origin of long lived condensation is expected. Are the features seen
    line_5:        in the Helix common to most planetaries? Do these condensations result in
    line_6:        shadowing that can explain the ionization structure?
    line_7:        The other objective of this program is to repeat the measurements on a few
    line_8:        years baseline in order to study the temporal variations of well defined
    line_9:        condensation. This may provide distance determinations as well as dynamic
    line_10:       information.

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        The surface brightness is relatively low requiring long exposures. With the
    line_2:        filters chosen to discriminate between shadowed and unshadowed regions exposure
    line_3:        times of the order of an hour may be required. Since the identification and
    line_4:        reality of small features is vital a short exposure to assist in identifying
    line_5:        cosmic ray hits is taken. The cycle 1 observations also provide first
    line_6:        epoch images for a study of motions in the nebulae. The first return to this
    line_7:        imaging is planned for cycles 2, 3, or 4. Based on these results future
    line_8:        observations may be considered.

    line_1:        No real time or special scheduling required.

  question:        13
    section:       1
    line_1:        Observations of nearby planetary nebulae will show structure if present on a
    line_2:        scale of 10dex14 cm. Images will be obtained in H-alpha, HeII and NII in order
    line_3:        to test current models of the nature of the condensations. It is also planned
    line_4:        to repeat observations in order to measure proper motions of well defined
    line_5:        condensations.
