The spectrum of HM Sagittae: a planetary nebula excited by a Wolf--Rayet star

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6780847

Image tube spectrograms of HM Sagittae were obtained. More than 70 emission lines, including several broad emission features, were identified. An analysis of the spectra indicates that HM Sagittae is a planetary nebula excited by a Wolf-Rayet star. The most conspicuous Wolf-Rayet feature is that attributed to a blend of C III at 4650 A and He II at 4686 A.
