The Stingray Nebula (Hen-1357) is the youngest known planetary nebula (PN). Harv|Gry|2002 The Stingray is located in the direction of the southern constellation
Ara (the Altar).

History

Karl Gordon Henize classified Stingray Nebula as an A or B type emission line star in 1967. It was observed in 1971 to be a pre-planetary nebulae (PPNe) when it seemed to be a asymptotic giant branch (AGB) B1 supergiant. It was discovered as a planetary nebula (PN) in 1989 by the IUE (Parthasarathy et al 1993). Harv|Gry|2002 Parthasarathy et al. concluded that the light from the event arrived at Earth after 1975, probably in 1987 (the light would have travelled for about 18,000 years). Harv|Parthasarathy|2000

Planetary nebula nucleus (PNN)

In 1995 the central planetary nebula nucleus (PNN) was observed as a DA white dwarf, having seemingly faded by a factor of three between 1987 and 1995. The PNN has an estimated mass of 0.6 , and has an observed companion star separated by 0.3 arcsec. Nebula mass is estimated as 0.015 MΘ.

Luminosity is estimated to be 3000 L. Harv|Parthasarathy|2000
