AN ATTEMPT TO DETECT NEUTRAL HYDROGEN IN PLANETARY NEBULAE,
Abstract
Six planetary nebulae were observed at the frequency of the 21 cm hydrogen line in an attempt to detect absorption of the thermal radio emission in neutral hydrogen in the outer parts of the nebulae. No evidence of such neutral gas was detected, and in two cases an upper limit of 0.12 solar mass can be placed on the HI mass if the observations are interpreted in terms of a spherically-symmetrical model and the temperature of the neutral gas is = or < 100 degrees K.
