Abstract

The discovery of compact knots of highly processed material apparently ejected from the central star of the emission nebula Abell 30 is reported here^1,2. This emission nebula possesses other unusual features. The extended emission region, ∼2 arc min in diameter has a very low surface brightness and exhibits a high degree of circular symmetry. The central star 05 fep, V Combining double low line 14.3 is remarkable for its very high temperature of the order 2 × 10⁵ K, as indicated by the strong broad O VI, He II and C IV emission lines in its spectrum and the strong [Ne v] emission in the embedding nebulosity³. Furthermore the star seems to be embedded in a resolved (∼30 arc s) source of IR emission⁴. These new observations emphasize the peculiar nature of A30 and its importance in studies of stellar evolution.
