What does Ammonia trace in Egg Nebula Pao-Jan Chiu Pao-Jan Chiu With Jeremy Lim

Outline Optical Structure of the Egg Nebula 12 CO Molecular Outflows Structure of NH 3 (1,1) Observations with VLA Results and Discussion Summary

CRL Egg Nebula Proto-Planetary nebula (PPN) Distance ~ 1 kpc Optical features bipolar lobes twin searchlight beams quasi-spherical AGB wind shocked molecular hydrogen “dust lane”

Multiple Outflows in Egg nebula 12 CO trace multiple outflows. Shocked molecular hydrogen traces lobes of polar outflow, tips of “equatorial” outflows. Arrow – axis of 12 CO outflows contour – 12 CO Arrow – axis of 12 CO outflows contour – 12 CO color – optical image + shocked H 2 color – optical image + shocked H 2

Summary Observed NH3(3,3) in Egg Nebula with VLA NH 3 (3,3) trace the higher density and temperature molecule gas Observed NH3(3,3) in Egg Nebula with VLA NH 3 (3,3) trace the higher density and temperature molecule gas NH 3 (3,3) not consistent with expanding disk NH 3 (3,3) not consistent with expanding disk NH 3 (3,3) located at/close to tips of 12 CO outflows and behind the shocked molecular hydrogen gas NH 3 (3,3) located at/close to tips of 12 CO outflows and behind the shocked molecular hydrogen gas Kinematics of NH3(3,3) similar to 12 CO outflows Kinematics of NH3(3,3) similar to 12 CO outflows NH3(3,3) traces shocked molecular gas behind the shock front (traced by shocked molecular hydrogen) NH3(3,3) traces shocked molecular gas behind the shock front (traced by shocked molecular hydrogen) Does the “equatorial” outflows lie in the same plane; i.e., disk that is aligned with the dust lane Does the “equatorial” outflows lie in the same plane; i.e., disk that is aligned with the dust lane

Orientation of the Multiple “Equatorial” Outflows Two models: Model 1. Oriented in different directions, with no common plane Model 2. “Equatorial” Outflows lie in the plane of a “disk” aligned with the dust lane

Orientation of the Multiple “Equatorial” Outflows Two models: Model 1. Oriented in different directions, with no common plane Model 2. “Equatorial” Outflows lie in the plane of a “disk” aligned with the dust lane Model 2 requires the “disk” to be (rapidly) rotating
