Description
The authors present long slit low dispersion flux calibrated spectra for
the planetary nebula A 78, and from these they obtain the chemical
abundances and their variation within the nebula. In the central part of
the nebula almost no hydrogen is found implying that the envelope of the
central star is burning helium. The authors also measured an
over-abundance of processed material which has been convected from the
centre of the star. In the outer part of the nebula the abundances are
close to solar.
