Rings and arcs around evolved stars IV. Characterizing the physical properties of the rings around IC 418 with MUSE

Context. A fraction of planetary nebulae (PNe) presents ring-like features in their halos and outermost envelopes. These are thought to be the relic of the last mass loss gaps at the end of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase, providing information on cyclic mass-loss modulations associated eith...

Description
Summary:Context. A fraction of planetary nebulae (PNe) presents ring-like features in their halos and outermost envelopes. These are thought to be the relic of the last mass loss gaps at the end of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase, providing information on cyclic mass-loss modulations associated either with stellar pulsations or binary interactions.
