Shaping proto-planetary nebulae by binary systems

We present the results of 3D hydrodynamic simulations aimed to explore the binary scenario for shaping bipolar, point- and mirror-symmetric proto-Planetary Nebulae. We consider a jet launched by the secondary star of a binary system, located at the center of the PPN, which propagates within a circumstellar medium swept previously up by the wind of the giant companion. As a result of the presence of the companion star, the accretion disk around the jet source is likely to precess. We have carried out 3D hydrodynamical simulations with the YGUAZÚ-A code including the combination of an orbital motion plus a precession. Our results show that to produce a multipolar nebula, it is necessary to have a precessing jet in a binary system with a time-dependent ejection velocity.
