They are ideal laboratories for the study of different  astrophysical processes: atomic physics, radiative transfer, stellar  winds, shocks, wind-wind interaction, and the interaction  between stellar winds and the interstellar medium. In addition,  planetary nebulae provide information about the late stages of stellar  evolution. \u003cbr\u003e  In the last five years studies of planetary nebulae have progressed  very rapidly and new phenomena and insights have been gained. This is  partly due to new observations (e.g. from the Hubble Space Telescope,  the ISO satellite and new infrared and millimeter spectrographs) and  partly to the advancement of hydrodynamic simulations of the  structures of planetary nebulae (PN). Many of these new results were  reported at IAU Symposium 180 in Groningen, the Netherlands, on August  26 to 30, 1996. This symposium was dedicated to one of the pioneers of  PN research: Stuart Pottasch. \u003cbr\u003e  These proceedings contain chapters on: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIntroduction to PN with the basic parameters \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDistances of  PN \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe central stars of PN \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe envelopes of PN \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe  evolution from AGB to PN \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe evolution from PN to white dwarfs  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePN in the galactic context \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePN in extragalactic systems  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe future of PN research\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  . \u003cbr\u003e  The book contains 29 reviews and more than 200 shorter contributions. \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-02-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792348931\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5244-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 507\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311806566540,"sku":"9780792348931","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792348931.jpg?v=1771512523","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792348931","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
