The Ring Nebula is a planetary nebula in the constellation Lyra. It has an angular size of 1.4 arcmin × 1.0 arcmin and is expanding at the rate of about 20 km/s. Approximately how long ago did the central star shed its outer layers? Assume that the nebula is 2700 ly from Earth.

Consider a planetary nebula with distance 1.5 kpc and angular size 12 arcsec: a. What is its linear radius? b. Suppose this hot *T = 30,000 K) star emits ionizing photons at a rate of 6.92*10^47 s^(-1). Assuming a recombination coefficient α = equals 3*10^(-13) cm^3/s, estimate the density of electrons in the nebula. c. Assuming this is a spherical nebula, calculate the emission measure.
