---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The nature of the nebula is not 100% clear.

It is probably the shock front of a white dwarf, which races through the interstellar medium

at high speed and thereby ionizes the surrounding gas.





Description:

- White dwarf of a once low-mass star.

- The star has an extremely high proper motion, which explains the elongated shape of the structure.

- It's likely that the white dwarf originates from a binary system

- Southern shock arc with a long extension to the north

- no OIII signal



Central star:

- Cool White Dwarf PM J04263 + 4820 (WDJ042623.59 + 482009.85)

- Very high speed CSPN

- proper motion: RA 37.540 / DEC -123.155 (GAIA)

- Distance: 107 parsec

- temperature: 8874.41K

- white dwarf probability: 86.44%.

- Mass (sun): 0.143853

- Magnitude: 15.992619

- UV-ratio: far UV 16.92 / near UV 16.97
