SAO 244567 (Henl357) (IRAS 17119-5926) is a high galactic latitude (1 = 331°, b = −12°) early type star, originally classified as a B or A type H-alpha emission line star by Henize (1976). It is an IRAS source with far infrared colours similar to planetary nebulae. The IUE ultraviolet spectra obtained during the last eight years show that the central star is rapidly evolving. It is found that the central star of this young PN has faded by a factor of 3 within the last seven eight years. The terminal velocity of the stellar wind has decreased from −3500 km/sec in 1988 to almost zero in 1994. In 1988 the C IV (1550A) line which was a P-Cygni profile with strong absorption component had almost vanished by 1994. The CIII] 1909A emission strength increased markedly within 4 years from 1988 to 1992. The optical spectra obtained since 1990 shows very clearly only the nebular spectrum which is very similar to that of low excitation planetary nebula. The optical spectrum of SAO 244567 obtained in 1971 shows that it was a post-AGB B 1 or B2 supergiant at that time. This result shows that SAO 244567 has turned into a planetary nebula within the last 20 years. Recently Bobrowsky (1994) obtained narrowband optically resolved images in both H-beta and [OIII] 5007A with the HST planetary camera which revealed a well resolved nebula of size 2 seconds of arc. In this paper we discuss the recent new results.

Abstract We have found a class of circular radio objects in the Evolutionary Map of the Universe Pilot Survey, using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder telescope. The objects appear in radio images as circular edge-brightened discs, about one arcmin diameter, that are unlike other objects previously reported in the literature. We explore several possible mechanisms that might cause these objects, but none seems to be a compelling explanation.

The measurement of Hα emission on two high galactic latitude clouds known to emit 21 cm lines with local standard of rest (LSR) velocities of −50 and −85 km s−1 is reported. The Hα lines have been found nearly at the velocities of the 21 CM features and have emission rates of 0.2 Rayleigh. The diffuse Lyman continuum intensity required to produce HI ionization at the measured rate is in agreement with the direct measurements made with the ultraviolet (UV) spectrometer of the Voyager 2 spacecraft.

The high-galactic-latitude cloud L1642 (l = 210.8°, b = −36.7°) is a suitable candidate to relate IR measurements with atomic and molecular data because it has a reasonable size with respect to the rather poor (IRAS) IR resolution, a moderate optical extinction and an isolated location in the direction towards the galactic anticenter. The exceptionally high galactic latitude of −36.7° implies that L1642 is some 60 pc below the galactic plane (if r ≈ 100 pc is adopted for its distance). L1642 is thus sufficiently far off the galactic plane to minimize the confusion by background gas and dust clouds.
