The results are analyzed with morpho-kinematic models developed from the software tool Shape. Our goal is to reveal the morpho-kinematic properties of the central region of the nebula, and to explore the nature of unseen high-velocity jets that may have created the characteristic structure of the central region consisting of molecular and ionized components. A simple ellipsoidal shell model explains the intensity distribution around the systemic velocity, but the high velocity features deviate from the ellipsoidal model. Through the Shape automatic reconstruction model, we found a possible trail of a jet only in one direction, but no other possible holes were created by the passage of a jet.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-06-03T14:25:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "central region", "high-velocity jets", "three-dimensional structure", "simple ellipsoidal shell model explains", "shape automatic reconstruction model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/0004-6256/140/2/490", "journal": "The Astronomical Journal", "year": 2010, "month": "Aug", "volume": 140, "number": 2, "pages": 490 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 856955, "adsabs": "2010AJ....140..490N" } } }
