This authoritative volume provides a comprehensive review of the
origin and evolution of planetary nebulae. It covers all the stages
of their evolution, carefully synthesizes observations from across
the spectrum, and clearly explains all the key physical processes
at work. Particular emphasis is placed on observations from space,
using the Hubble Space Telescope, the Infrared Space Observatory,
and the ROSAT satellite. This book presents a thoroughly modern
understanding of planetary nebulae, integrating developments in
stellar physics with the dynamics of nebular evolution. It also
describes exciting possibilities such as the use of planetary
nebulae in determining the cosmic distance scale, the distribution
of dark matter and the chemical evolution of galaxies. This book
provides graduate students with an accessible introduction to
planetary nebulae, and researchers with an authoritative reference.
It can also be used as an advanced text on the physics of the
interstellar medium.
