Asymmetrical Post-main-sequence Nebulae 9
A meeting devoted to the shaping effects of stellar outflows from evolved stars in the formation of asymmetrical post-main-sequence nebulae including planetary nebulae, nebulae around massive stars, nova remnants, symbiotic stars, …
Scientific topics:
1.- Puzzling evolved star nebulae that challenge our present knowledge:
- morphology, kinematics, chemistry, time-scales, exotic central stars, …
- statistics: common and uncommon
2.- PNe related/unrelated objects:
- novae, SNR, LRN (mergers), massive stars, symbiotics, …
- transient nebulae and other eruptive objects
3.- Shaping Agents:
- mass-loss mechanisms
- role of binarity — binary mass-transfer, common envelope
- magnetic fields — strength, structure
- other agents
- disks, circumbinary disks, jet launching
4.- Nebular sequences:
- connecting the shape of sources in the AGB, post AGB, proto PN and PN phases
- evolutionary time-scales
5.- Binarity:
- observational and theoretical expectations
- links to common envelope, time-scales, mergers, exotic central stars
6.- Future:
- maximazing science from available and planned facilities
