These data are complemented with intermediate-resolution, long-slit spectra to describe the spectral properties of the central stars and nebulae. The morphokinematical analysis shows that Abell36 consists of an inner spheroid and two bright point-symmetric arcs; DeHt2 is elliptical with protruding polar regions and a bright non-equatorial ring; and RWT152 is bipolar. The formation of Abell36 and DeHt2 requires several ejection events including collimated bipolar outflows that probably are younger than and have disrupted the main shell. The nebular spectra of the three PNe show a high excitation and also suggest a possible deficiency in heavy elements in DeHt2 and RWT152. The spectra of the central stars strongly suggest an sdO nature and their association with PNe points out that they have most probably evolved through the asymptotic giant branch. We analyze general properties of the few known sdOs associated to PNe and find that most of them are relatively or very evolved PNe, show complex morphologies, host binary central stars, and are located at relatively high Galactic latitudes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-10-08T19:00:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "planetary nebulae", "sdo stars", "physical structure", "long-slit spectra", "host binary central stars" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1093/mnras/stu2106", "journal": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "year": 2015, "month": "Jan", "volume": 446, "number": 1, "pages": 317 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015MNRAS.446..317A" } } }
