Description
The identification of a bipolar planetary nebula is reported with a
description of its characteristics. The nebula IRAS 22568 + 6141 has an
extension of 8 arcsec, a high extinction of 2.37, and electron
temperature and density of 11,500 K and 20,000/cu cm respectively. The
distance to the object is estimated at 6 kpc by means of the Shklovskii
method which is consistent with the H-alpha radial velocity of -80 km/s.
The IRAS data suggest that the source has a total dust + gas enevelope
of 0.4 solar mass, and the mass-loss rate and progenitor type are
calculated for the young planetary nebula.
