5 S 308 - ideal for conduction study HD 50896 * R: H  G: [O III] B: X-ray Boroson et al. (1997) detected N V absorption from the conduction layer. HST STIS observation of N V and C VI emission was scheduled, but STIS died. FUSE observations of O VI were awarded, and it died, too. Spitzer can observe Ne V, but it ran out cryogen.

6 FUSE Observations of NGC 6543 Gruendl, Chu, Guerrero 2004, ApJL

7 III. Conduction Layer - Probe the thermal conduction layer High ions produced by thermal collisions - NGC 6543: given the boundary conditions of hot interior and warm shell, thermal conduction appears to be consistent, but does not explain the low X-ray luminosity. Gruendl, Chu, Guerrero 2004, ApJL

10 Interacting-Wind Model of PNe

11 Hot Gas in Planetary Nebulae Guerrero et al. (2005) Chu et al. (2001) Gruendl et al. (2006) NGC 2392 NGC 6543 NGC 7026 X-ray emission detected by Chandra & XMM-Newton

12 Hot Gas in Planetary Nebulae X-ray emission detected by Chandra & XMM-Newton T = 1-3 x 10 6 K n  100 cm -3 3.0x10 6 K2.7x10 6 K 1.7x10 6 K

14 To Ensure Detection of Diffuse X-rays 1.Closed shell or lobes to confine hot gas. 2.Stellar winds – P Cygni profiles 3.Nearby, no large extinction 4.OVI, NV lines from interface layer NGC 246, NGC 3132 - no high ions, no X-rays High ions and diffuse X-rays from IC 418, NGC 2392, NGC 6826, NGC 7009

15 FUSE - Nebular OVI Emission NGC 7293 (Helix)NGC 6543 (Cat’s Eye) Stellar P Cygni profile  fast stellar wind Nebular O VI emission  hot gas from shocked wind O VI 1032 O VI 1037 Inside Nebula Outside Nebula Star Ly  1026

16 O VI of PNe detected in X-rays

17 O VI of PNe not detected in X-rays

18 Pressure-driven bubble with heat conduction at interface Bubble dynamics does not match L x (obs) / L x (expected) = 10 -1 to 10 -3  Adjust fast wind - wind velocity - mass loss rate  Reduce heat conduction Dynamically mix nebular material (mass-loading)  

19 What Next? Swept-up Shell Reasonably well understood Interface (conduction) layer Spatially-resolved high-dispersion UV spectra are needed Hot interior Spatially-resolved high-resolution X-ray spectra are needed
