摘要
We present the results of two-dimensional radiation-gasdynamic simulations of aspherical planetary nebulae (PNs) evolution. These simulations were constructed using the generalized interacting stellar winds (GISW) scenario of Balick (1987), where a fast, tenuous wind from the central star expands into a toroidal, slow, dense wind. We demonstrate that the GISW model can produce a wide range of aspherical flow patterns. The dependence of the shock morphology on the initial parameters conforms to the expectations of analytical models (Icke 1988). We find that radiative cooling slows the evolution of the forward shock by removing energy from the hot bubble and that radiation heating and cooling changes the temperature structure of the shocked slow-wind material. We have constructed self-consistent synthetic observations of the models from forbidden line emissivities used in the energy-loss term. We present integrated intensity and long-slit spectrum (position-velocity) maps of the models projected at different angles on the sky. These synthetic observations are compared with real intensity and position-velocity maps of PNs. We find that there is a very good match between the synthetic and real observations in terms of morphologies, kinematics, and physical conditions. From the results of these simulations we conclude that the GISW scenario can account for most, if not all, PN morphologies, thus confirming Balick's conjecture.
