  1. [CII] observations of the Ring nebula (NGC 6720) • NGC6720 is one of the best studied planetary nebulae • It was observed by ISO in [CII], but without spatial and spectral resolution to resolve where [CII] comes from • GREAT observations (sparse map) show that the [CII] lines are broad (50 km/s), most of the carbon is in CI or [CII], the total [CII] mass ~ 0.11 Msun • [CII] emission strong in the PDR just outside the optical ring [CII] spectra at selected positions, see next slide. Top is average of center plus 3, 5 , 8, and 8a. Sahai et al. 2012, A&A 542, L20 (special GREAT issue)
