Descripción
We have explored the effect of transition timescales in planetary
nebulae (PNe) formation. We have performed hydrodynamical simulations of
the evolution of the stellar winds predicted by theoretical stellar
evolutionary models adopting two choices for the evolution during the
transition time. The evolution of the star from the AGB to the PN stage
has been followed for different main-sequence stellar masses (1, 1.5, 2,
2.5, 3.5 and 5 Msolar). We find that the sizes and velocities
of the PNe shells are very sensitive to the adopted timescale during the
transition time.
