Description

Asymptotic giant branch stars eject a significant amount of mass in the form of a stellar wind just prior to the PN phase and such matter must have an effect on the formation of planetary nebulae. The fast winds developed by central stars of planetary nebulae may also contribute sufficient momentum to be dynamically important in the evolution of planetary nebulae. (Auth.)
