Diagrams for Observational Testing of Evolution of Planetary Nebula Nuclei
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 August 2017
Abstract
Confrontation of theoretical models with observations is the main way of progress of our understanding of the nature of astrophysical objects. This paper discusses different diagrams used for observational testing of theoretical evolutionary models of planetary nebula nuclei (PNNi). Particular attention is paid in indicating and discussing sources of errors and uncertainties which may result in wrong conclusions drawn from the diagrams. Finally, results of recent studies comparing the theory and observations for the Galactic PNNi are critically reviewed.
