IRAS 19190+1102: A New Water Fountain PPN Fonda Day (UNM), Ylva Pihlstrom (UNM), Mark Claussen (NRAO), & Raghvendra Sahai (JPL/Caltech)
2
Water Fountain Pre-Planetary Nebulae (PPNs) In transition from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) to planetary nebula (PN) Highly red- and blue-shifted OH & H 2 O maser emission ( v>50 km s -1 ) Bipolar distribution of masers Dynamical ages: t~100 yrs Five bona fide + several candidates
3
Further Motivation Obtain distances using trigonometric parallax Motion of masers relative to source Peculiar motion of source within galaxy Parallax Thesis project
4
IRAS 19190+1102 OH & H 2 O emission first detected by Likkel (1989), v>70 km s -1 Classifications: –PN –Young stellar object (YSO) –PPN

6
VLBA Observations H 2 O 22 GHz 2 epochs: March 2004, May 2006 t on-source =3.5 hr =20-40 mJy/channel; detections >10 Measured positions relative to reference maser

9
“Central” Maser Features Episodic or precessing jet?
10
Conclusions IRAS 19190+1102 a true water fountain PPN –Evolved object –High velocity separation of maser emission –Bipolar, collimated jet-like outflows Characteristics typical of other known water fountain nebulae
11
Future Work Use multi-epoch VLBA observations to obtain distance Distance measurement will give –Progenitor mass –Mass-loss rate –Luminosity
