Extended X-ray Emission from the Planetary Nebulae BD+303639
Abstract
We report discovery of extended X-ray emission from the planetary nebulae BD+303639. BD+303639 was the target of a ROSAT HRI observation with the goal of resolving the x-ray emission. Analysis of the ROSAT HRI image shows clearly that BD+303639 has extended x-ray emission which can be fit with a Gaussian with a sigma of 2.6 arcseconds (after correction for the HRI point spread function). This size is the same as that of the optical nebulae, as recently imaged in HST observations.
