Spatial studies of the emission line regions in planetary nebulae (PN) can provide insight into the physical and chemical environments across the nebulae. In a collaborative effort by the coauthors, a K-band Fabry-Perot etalon has been coupled with an advanced 256 × 256 InSb focal plane array at the Wyoming Infrared Observatory 2.3m telescope. This system permits us to obtain spatially resolved, 0.24″/pixel, moderate spectral resolution (R ≈ 800), flux-density IR emission line images of astronomical sources. We obtained continuum-subtracted images of Br γ, HeI 2.06 μm, the 2-μm UIR features, and the 3.3 μm PAH dust feature in the PN NGC 6572, NGC 7027, and NGC 7662. One objective was to determine the spatial morphology of two unidentified emission lines, UIR1−2.199 μm, and UIR2−2.287 μm (Geballe et al. 1991). These UIR lines appear in the spectra of many PN (Hora et al. 1997) and in the Orion Nebula (Luhman & Rieke 1996). Geballe et al. suggested that the UIR lines are most likely forbidden transitions and showed that the parent ion ionization potential is ≈ 30–40 eV, while the ionization potential for the ions themselves is 40–60 eV. Here we directly compare the distribution of the UIR emitters to that of the gas (H+,He+) and dust (PAHs).

We present infrared emission line images of the v = 1 → 0 S(1) transition of molecular hydrogen and Brγ recombination line of atomic hydrogen which cover the entire extent of NGC 6720, the Ring Nebula. The maps presented here are the highest angular resolution images of these transitions yet produced for this object, and have very low relative positional uncertainty. As a result, we clearly resolve the spatial stratification of the ionized and shocked molecular zones within the nebula discussed previously by Beckwith et al. (1978). The relative spatial distribution of molecular and ionized hydrogen we observe is typical of several planetaries which exhibit shocked H2 emission (eg. see Zuckerman and Gatley 1987), and is similar to that predicted by the interacting-stellar-winds model of planetary nebulae formation (see Volk and Kwok 1985 and references therein).
