STScI-PRC00-25 A DYING STAR IN GLOBULAR CLUSTER M15 The globular cluster Messier 15 is shown in this color image obtained with the NASA Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2). ... Known as Kuestner 648, this was the first planetary nebula to be identified in a globular cluster. ... At the present time, the most massive stars remaining in M15 have about 80 percent of the mass of our Sun, a fact that makes the existence of a planetary nebula like K 648 something of a mystery. ...

... GSAOI Home . ... Science . ... Deep imaging at J , H , and K is required to identify all stellar objects, brown dwarfs, and planetary mass objects in the central region of the Orion Nebula Cluster down to masses comparable to that of Jupiter. This is required to establish the initial mass function, i.e., the number of stars of each mass that have formed, in this region of intense massive star formation. ... The fields of the GSAOI detectors are shown as four green squares in each frame. ...

Our team has obtained HST WFPC2 images of this prototypical example of a planetary nebula in a globular cluster. K 648 was cataloged as a star by Kustner, but identified spectroscopically as a planetary nebula by Pease, both in the 1920's. General WFPC2 view of M15 and K 648 (located near top left edge) . ... The nucleus is shown to have an unusually high mass of 0.60 Msun, and we argue that it must have undergone mass augmentation in a binary that has undergone mass transfer or a merger. ...

... Conditions are like those inside a white dwarf. ... It is not well understood what changes are caused inside the star, but the star certainly loses mass between leaving the main sequence and becoming a helium-burning horizontal branch star. When core helium burning ends, the low mass star rejoins the asymptotic giant branch, where the hydrogen and helium burning shells interact, causing a series of thermal pulses. ... Stars less than one third of a solar mass will not ignite helium at all. ...
