The Importance of Binaries in the Formation and Evolution of Planetary Nebulae

by Henri Boffin and David Jones

Book Overview

It is now clear that a binary evolutionary pathway is responsible for a significant fraction of all planetary nebulae, with some authors even going so far as to claim that binarity may be a near requirement for the formation of an observable nebula.
