Abstract

The Planetary nebula NGC 6881 displays quadrupole morphology and it also has a jet feature in its image. We investigated the line profiles of the optical region spectral emission lines, using the Hamilton Echelle Spectrograph (HES) at the Lick observatory. The HES data obtained in this study was the radiation coming from the inner region within the diameter of 4 second of arc. Expansion velocity was obtained, based on the strong emission line profiles of e.g. H, Hel, Hell, [OIII], [NII], [ArIII], [SII], and [SIII}, using the IRAF and StarLink/Dipso reduction packages. The HI recombination lines showed one single peak profile, while the He and forbidden strong lines displayed double peaks. The results of this study show that the outflow velocity of gas increases radially outwards due to the central stellar radiation pressure. It was concluded that three central rings appeared in the HST image are the result of a combined structure of bipolar cones (seen in e.g. HI lines) and a ring (seen in He, [SIII] lines) in projection.

행성상성운 NGC 6881은 4극자형태를 이루고 있고 JET이 영상에 나타난다. Lick 천문대에 있는 Hamilton Echelle Spectrograph(HES)을 사용하여 관측한 가시광 영역의 방출선 스펙트럼의 선윤곽을 연구하였다. 우리가 연구하는 HES 분광 자료는 직경이 4초각인 영역의 안쪽에서 관측된 것이다. IRAF와 StarLink/Dipso분석프로그램을 사용하여 HI, HeI, HeII, [OIII], [NII], [ArIII], [SII], [SIII] 등의 강한 선들의 선윤곽을 통해 팽창속도를 얻었다. HI선의 경우 단일 정상을 보이는 반면, He과 다른 금지선들은 두 개의 정상 분포가 겹치는 특성을 보였다. 가스 유출 속도는 중심별의 복사압에 의해 바깥쪽으로 갈수록 가속되는 것으로 분석되었다. 우리는 팽창속도자료를 통해, HST 영상에서 보여진 중심부분의 세 개의 고리는 양극콘(HI 선등에 나타남)과 고리(He, [SIII]선에 특성이 보임)의 복합 구조가 투영된 것으로 결론지었다.
