We show that a hydrodynamical treatment along the upper AGB leads quite naturally to more realistic starting configurations for planetaries with density slopes steeper than r^{-2}. Taking into account photoionization and wind interaction in a realistic manner, the hydrodynamics of post-AGB wind envelopes leads to density structures and velocity fields in close resemblance to observations of spherical or elliptical planetary nebulae.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-12-16T18:31:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "agb stars", "spherical case", "cool agb wind envelope", "transition", "post-agb wind envelopes" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 520878 } } }
