AbstractHe 2-104 has been classified as both a planetary nebula and as a symbiotic star. Optical and ultraviolet spectra and CCD images have been obtained in order to learn more about the evolutionary state of this object. The spectra of the object indicate that it could be either a symbiotic star or a very high excitation planetary nebula. The CCD images show a nebulosity with a radius of about 4 seconds of arc and faint bipolar outer structures extending out approximately 25 seconds of arc from the center of the nebula.

According to the multiple winds model a planetary nebula forms as the result of the interaction of a fast wind from the central star with the superwind that had previously been emitted by the progenitor star. The basic theory which deals with the spherically symmetrical case is briefly summarised. Various improvements are then considered in turn. A better history is clearly needed of the way that the central star becomes hotter, it is unrealistic to make the assumption that the superwind is spherically symmetrical, and finally there are likely to be important instabilities at some of the interfaces in the PN, notably that between the shocked superwind and the HII layer. These changes in the theoretical description produce a better understanding of the conditions in the outer parts of a PN and of the nature of its general shape, and they should lead to an explanation for the occurrence of high speed motions, and of highly ionized species and high excitation spectral lines.

Spectrophotometry data of the planetary nebula N 66 (WS 35) has been obtained with the CTIO 4-m telescope equipped with an R-C spectrograph and a 2D-Frutti detector. The spectral range between 3700 A and 6800 A was covered at 4 A resolution.

Three high-excitation planetary nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds were successfully observed with the International Ultraviolet Explorer. Emission lines as well as nebular and stellar continua were detected. Fluxes in the lines 1550 C IV, 1640 He II, 1663 O III, and 1909 C III were measured in spectra of LMC P40, SMC N2, and SMC N5 obtained with the IUE short wavelength spectrograph; 2422 Ne IV was measured in P40 with the long wavelength spectrograph. The data were analyzed together with groundbased observations by Aller in order to derive ionization models and the nebular abundances of He, C, N, O, S, Ar. The C abundances are as large as those typically found in galactic planetaries, although the interstellar media of the Clouds are notably deficient in C. Thus, the C was synthesized in the progenitor stars and presumably was lifted to the stellar envelopes by convection prior to the ejection of the nebulae. Other planetary nebulae in the Clouds, as well as the planetary nebula in the Fornax galaxy, may be observable with IUE.
