The Toby Jug nebula (IC 2220) : a bipolar and biconical nebula.
Abstract
An optical linear polarization map of IC 2220, the nebula surrounding the cool red giant HD 65750, is presented. The nebula appears to be bipolar and biconical in structure. The mass of the nebula is estimated to be 0.01 solar masses and is consistent with the nebula being formed from the current mass loss stage of the central star.
