INTRODUCTION: Why study H2 in PPNs? Shaping of PNs: Substantial shaping occurs early in the PPN phase (or even at the end of the AGB phase). Factors to investigate: - variation of density with latitude in CSE – circumstellar disks - variation of mass loss with latitude - initiation of fast wind, which shapes the density variation • How to investigate the initiation of the fast wind? • - extended wings in CO millimeter-line observations (+/- 100 km/s) • - extended wings in Ha emission • - H2 emission • H2 signature of fast wind: • - collisional excitation - shocks at interaction with AGB remnant • - location at the ends of lobes, away from star • - kinematics of H2emission

SURVEYS TO IDENTIFY H2 IN PPNs: • Excitation Mechanism? • Ratio H2 1-0 S(1)/2-1 S(1) • > 10 collisional ex. IRAS 17150-3224 (G2) • 1.3-2.0 radiative ex. IRAS 20462+3416 (B1) • v > 2 radiative all the B stars + results of morphological correlations Results for PPNs with H2: F-G stars: primarily collisional, associated with bipolar shape B stars: primarily radiative, apparently not assoc. with bipolar shape Most are some mixture of collisional and radiative Van de Steene & van Hoof (2003) - Careful study of IRAS 16594-4656 including additional H2 lines; indicates mainly collisional excitation and they also discusses types of shocks.

H2 IN PPNs: SUMMARY • H2 is common in bipolar F-G PPNs with optically-thick torus • - shock excited • - occurs in lobes, near ends • - not seen in non-bipolar F-G PPNs • fast wind beginning in SpT=G, but not earlier • (2) H2 is universal(?) in B PPNs, irrespective of morphology • - mostly radiatively excited • phase that all PPNs go through prior to photo-dissociation • of H2 and photo-ionization of nebula (PN) • (3) High-resolution spectra now becoming available to study the • kinematics in detail. • - spatial-kinematic studies

Shaping: due to fast outflow – can we see the initiation of it? Evidence for a fast outflow seen in extended wings of submm CO lines in a few PPNs: Egg Nebula, AFGL 618, IRAS 19500-1709 Can also look for interaction between fast outflow and AGB remnant. 1-0 S(1) 1-0 S(0) 2-1 S(1) Shocked H2 - Egg Nebula: H2 seen at ends of lobes and ends of obscuring region - IRAS 17150-3224 (below): seen at ends of lobes (HST-NICMOS) High H2 1-0 S(1)/2-1 S(1) ratio indicates collisional excitation
