A correlation has been found between strong molecular hydrogen emission and the morphological type of a planetary nebula. Those with an equatorial toroid and bipolar extensions have H2 1−0 S(1) stronger than Brackett γ. H2 maps of several objects, and NGC 2346 in particular, are consistent with a fast stellar wind interacting with an anisotropic medium.

We report observations of the v = 1-0 S(1) line of molecular hydrogen in the high excitation Planetary Nebula NGC 2440. The emission is particularly strong at the positions of the two bright condensations which lie well within the H II region and close to the position of the very hot T = 350,000 K central star. The emission is consistent with an excited molecular hydrogen mass of 2–4 × 10−5 M⊙ in the condensations, and we estimate the total mass of excited molecular hydrogen associated with the H II region to be 6 × 10−3 M⊙. We show that the radiation pressure from the central star is insufficient to excite the S(1) line emission. We also show that a stellar wind driven shock would imply a mass loss rate of 3 × 10−7 M⊙ yr−1 if we adopt a wind velocity of 2000 km s−1.

The discovery of many dense, dusty condensations in the Helix Nebula, NGC 7293, by Meaburn et al. (1992) was the first direct evidence of the real inhomogeneity of the medium of a planetary nebula. On account of the small distance of the Helix nebula from the Sun (~200pc), the knots (cometary globules) can be resolved from the ground and studied in detail from HST imaging (O'Dell & Handron, 1996). The condensations typically have a projected diameter of <2″ and hence sizes of <6 x 1015 cm. The condensations consist of a dusty core, visible as absorption against the background high ionization central region of the nebula for the foreground globules, and with a bow-shaped ionization front, strong in low ionization emission. The emission is displaced in the direction towards the central star, often with an outwardly-directed radial tail.

In the course of a sensitive search for atomic hydrogen emission associated with planetary nebulae having high velocities relative to Galactic HI (Schneider et al. 1986), we detected absorption in the spectrum of IC 4997 (PK 58-10.1). This is only the second definite detection of HI associated with a PN. The velocity of the feature coincides precisely with that expected if the gas is expanding with the measured optical expansion velocity of 14 km s−1 (Sabbadin 1984), strongly suggesting an association.
