Detection of carbon monoxide emission in planetary nebulae

The first detection of a molecule from planetary nebulae is reported. Carbon monoxide emission has been found in the planetary nebulae NGC 7027, IC 418, and NGC 6543. Compared with the optical nebula, the carbon monoxide emission about NGC 7027 is extended. Observations of NGC 7027 are interpreted as a shell of gas ejected from the preplanetary nucleus as it evolved into a planetary. (AIP)
