High-Speed Outflows and Dusty Disks during the AGB to PN Transition: The PANORAMA survey
read the original abstract
As mass-losing asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars evolve to planetary nebulae (PNe), the mass outflow geometries transform from nearly spherical to extreme aspherical. The physical mechanisms governing this transformation are widely believed to be linked to binarity and the associated production of disks and fast jets during transitional (post-AGB) evolutionary stages. We are carrying out a systematic ALMA survey ($P$re-planet$A$ry $N$ebulae high-angular-res$O$lution su$R$vey with $A$L$MA$ or PANORAMA) of a representative sample of bipolar and multipolar post-AGB objects. We have obtained high angular-resolution (0".1-0".4) observations of the CO(3--2) and/or 6--5 emission in order to probe the spatio-kinematic structure of the collimated outflows and the central disk/torii. The results are remarkable, generally showing the presence of bipolar or multipolar high-velocity outflows, dense toroidal waists, and in one case, a geometrically-thin circular ring around the central bipolar nebula. A high degree of point-symmetry characterizes the morphology of the mass ejecta. In this contribution, we present these and other highlights from our survey. We aim to use 2D/3D radiative transfer modeling in order to derive accurate outflow momenta, masses and mass-loss rates for our sample, and build hydrodynamical models that can explain the observed spatio-kinematic structures. These results will then be used to distinguish between different classes of PN-shaping binary interaction models.

JWST observations support the jittering-jets explosion mechanism (JJEM) for the core-collapse supernova remnant SNR 0540-69.3
JWST data on SNR 0540-69.3 reveals point-symmetric ejecta morphology consistent with shaping by at least three jet pairs, supporting the jittering-jets explosion mechanism.

JWST observations of a planetary nebula support jet-driven explosion of core-collapse supernova remnant RCW 103
Morphological similarity between JWST images of planetary nebula PMR 1 and X-ray images of CCSN remnant RCW 103 indicates that two pairs of jets shaped RCW 103, supporting the jittering-jets explosion mechanism.

The jet-shaped pipe morphology in planetary nebulae and core-collapse supernova remnants
Morphological similarity between pipe structures in planetary nebulae and supernova remnants, plus a jet simulation, indicates that jittering jets shaped both.

The jet-shaped pipe morphology in planetary nebulae and core-collapse supernova remnants
Morphological similarity between pipe features in PNe and CCSNRs and a jet simulation is used to argue that jets formed the pipes and to bolster the JJEM for core-collapse supernovae.
