Stellar Winds (GISW) theory – Kwok et al. (1978), Kahn & West (1985) – Unable to predict complex axisymmetric shape • Rotating Stellar Winds + Strong Magnetic Fields – Garcıa-Segura 1997; Garcıa-Segura&Lopez 2000; Frank&Blackman 2004 – single star may not supply enough angular momentum for complex axisymmetric PNe (Soker 2006) • Binary System, e.g. AGB star + white dwarf → common envelope – Miszalski et al. 2009; De Marco 2009; Nordhaus et al. 2010 – nearly 30% of bipolar PNe contain post-CE binaries (Miszalski et al. 2009) – alignments between the nebular shells and the binary orbital inclinations (e.g. Mitchell et al. 2007; Jones et al. 2010, 2012; Tyndall et al. 2012; Huckvale et al. 2013).

to remove H-rich outer layer • There is a gap between [WCL] and [WCE] • Born-again scenarios: – AFTP. AGB Final Thermal Pulse occurs at the end of the AGB – LTP. Late Thermal Pulse occurs when the star moves from the AGB phase towards the white dwarf. – VLTP. Very Late Thermal Pulse occurs when the star is on the white dwarf cooling track. • Alternatively, mass-loss to a binary companion • or stellar merger

Interacting Stellar Winds (GISW)? – Rotating Stellar Winds + Strong Magnetic Fields? – Binary System? • FLIERs: point-symmetric jets on the both sides – Moving faster than the main shell expansion – Low-ionization Structures, low densities – Mostly in PNe with hot central stars • H-deficient stellar atmospheres (25% of total) – Born-again scenarios? – Binary channel? • Problems to solve Asymmetric morphology of PNe H-deficient atmospheres of CSPNe
