A search for water maser emission toward obscured post-AGB star and planetary nebula candidates

Abstract: Context. Water maser emission at 22 GHz is a useful probe for studying the transition between the nearly spherical mass loss in the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) to a collimated one in the post-AGB phase. In their turn, collimated jets in the post-AGB phase could determine the shape of planetary nebulae once photoionization starts. Aims. We intend to find new cases of post-AGB stars and planetary nebulae (PNe) with water maser emission, including some especially interesting and rare types: water fountains (evo… Show more

“…Uscanga et al (2012) find the sizes and optical visibilities of the maser-associated PNe suggest a range of ages, but it is possible that the subgroup of PNe showing both OH and H 2 O are among the youngest PNe known (Gómez et al 2015). Our observations confirm IRAS 16333−4807 as a member of this rare group of potentially young PNe.…”

“…The presence of maser emission (OH or H 2 O) in a PN is usually considered to be a sign of its youth, since these masers are expected to disappear shortly after the end of the AGB phase (Gómez et al 1990). Uscanga et al (2012) find the sizes and optical visibilities of the maser-associated PNe suggest a range of ages, but it is possible that the subgroup of PNe showing both OH and H 2 O are among the youngest PNe known (Gómez et al 2015).

“…However, at the post-AGB phase, apart from a more or less symmetric shell, collimated high velocity bipolar jets are observed in the radio band (Pérez-Sánchez et al 2013). The environment in the shells and jets is favorable for the emergence of maser emission (Gómez et al 2015). Highly accurate measurements of the trigonometric parallaxes have already been performed with ground-based very-long baseline interferometers for some post-AGB objects (Imai et al 2007(Imai et al , 2013.…”

“…There remain several sources that are considered to be WF candidates based on singledish observations (Yung et al 2013, 2014, Gómez et al 2015. Despite showing larger velocities in their H 2 O maser spectrum than in OH, the velocity spread of some of these candidates is relatively low ( 40 km s −1 ), compared with the case of some WFs (> 100 km s −1 ).…”
