Modeling bipolar Planetary Nebulae

Abstract

This study aims to map spatially the physical properties of a set of planetary nebulae with bipolar morphology, and then build their models. For this, observations were performed using long slit and IFU techniques. Modeling was performed with the $Cloudy$ code. Our results show that the simulations are able to reproduce the major features of observations, even taking simplifying assumptions for the astrophysical environment. A significant fraction of PNe appears to be limited by density. Sub-structures could be identified as deviations in the symmetry of the emerging fluxes. Changes in the reddening from H$alpha$/H$beta$ ratio indicate differential extinction in the nebulae. Plasma diagnostic diagrams show some features reproduced by the models, and can be use to evaluate their accuracy.
