The high spectral resolution, sensitivity and large number of archival observations in the FUSE archive allow the study of the stellar winds of CSPNe in the far UV domain where lines of species spanning a wide excitation range can be observed. We present here a preliminary analysis of the P Cygni profiles of a sample of 60 CSPNe observed by FUSE. P Cygni profiles evidencing fast stellar winds with velocities between 200 and 4,300 km/s have been found in 40 CSPNe. In many cases, this is the first time that fast stellar winds have been reported for these PNe. A detailed study of these far-UV spectra is on-going.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-12-01T13:05:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "planetary nebula central stars", "fuse view", "profiles evidencing fast stellar winds" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1071/AS09024", "journal": "Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia", "year": 2010, "month": "May", "volume": 27, "number": 2, "pages": 210 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 838543, "adsabs": "2010PASA...27..210G" } } }
