Some parts for introduction

An astrophysical jet is an astronomical phenomenon where outflows of ionised matter are emitted as
an extended beam along the axis of rotation.[1] When this greatly accelerated matter in the beam
approaches the speed of light, astrophysical jets become relativistic jets as they show effects
from special relativity.
asymptotic giant branch (AGB) is a region of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram populated by evolved
cool luminous stars. This is a period of stellar evolution undertaken by all low- to intermediate-mass
stars (0.6–10 solar masses) late in their lives. an asymptotic-giant-branch star will appear as a
bright red giant with a luminosity thousands of times greater than the Sun. Its interior structure is
characterized by a central and largely inert core of carbon and oxygen, a shell where helium is
undergoing fusion to form carbon (known as helium burning), another shell where hydrogen is
undergoing fusion forming helium (known as hydrogen burning), and a very large envelope of material
of composition similar to main-sequence stars.

We typically think of planetary nebula as being relatively simple shells of expanding ionized gas,
ejected from old stars – stars like our sun – late in their lives. As our sun ages, it’ll become a planetary
nebula, which, as you might have guessed by now, have nothing to do with planets! But our sun’s
eventual planetary nebula won’t look like this object, called the Twin Jet Nebula. At the heart of the
Twin Jet Nebula, there are two stars, not one. The binary star at the heart of this nebula is what
creates the two iridescent lobes of material. Within these lobes, two huge jets of gas are streaming
outward at speeds in excess of one million kilometers per hour.

The Twin Jet Nebula – also known as PN M2-9 – is what’s known as a bipolar nebula. This image was
posted on the Hubble Space Telescope site this week.

DISCUSSION
Predicting the age and characteristics of FUV lobes and nebula
We can classify nebula in four ways, those being absorption, emission, reflection and
planetary nebulae. The NGC6302, or butterfly nebulae is a planetary nebula .i.e. it is formed
in the last stages of life of some stars when the outer layers of gas that have been shed off
glow with energy from central star. The term “planetary” is just due to their appearance in
small telescopes.
We can try to determine the age of these lobe by the help of proper motion studies. Proper
motion is the astronomical measurement of the changes that are observed in stars
positions, or other celestial objects when viewed from centre of mass of mass of the solar
system. Some similar attempts have been made previously as…………………..These
calculations of the proper motions of a large sample can be used to compute the cluster's
total mass as well.
On looking for the event that created the nebula and the winds, previous work from
Santander-García et al. (2017) estimated the ages of the wide lobes to be between 3600 yr
and 4700 yr using the kinematic properties. While another work from Szyszka et al. (2011)
determined the age of eastern lobe as 2200 year. Following the similarity in the studies of
proper motion and the models in Szyszka et al. (2011) suggest that the Hubble-type flow
occurs in both eastern and NW lobes. This can be a result of an explosive event occurring
2200yrs ago.
The two major events have happened to the AGB star that produced NGC 6302 are the
formation of the formation of the lobes and the torus. The estimated age of the AGB stage
of central star is about 2100 yr ago, which is in agreement with the age prediction of optical
lobe. The age of AGB star is found by photoionisation models by et al.crenshaw.
Coming to our recent discovery of FUV lobes, we observe that they have larger size, that
they are mores spread so it is most likely that they are older than the nebula.
Another feature of the FUV lobes as stated in original et al. is that they have the same width
throughout their length, suggesting a certain type of collimation. Since these are far-away
objects the light arrives at earth precisely collimated.

Lobes are considered as ejections at different times in the course of a change in the
orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body, which in our case is rotation axis of the
central star in a binary system. Following the work of Manchado et al. is highly unlikely that
the FUV lobes exhibit a similar flow as in PN M2-46, that the rotation axis has changed by 53
between two ejections of the lobes. In the case of NGC 6302, the axis seems to have
changed by 67.

One assumption can be that the optical nebula and the molecular torus were ejected one
after the other at the of the AGB life of the ancestor, the FUV structures would have been
ejected earlier stage in the evolution of an AGB binary.Another way to produce two distinct
interaction events, and
possibly two nebulae, at a distance of a few thousand years could be related with
a common event took place that terminated the life of the AGB star (first ejection
producing the FUV nebula) and a close binary star surrounded by a nebula; then a second
outburst, a last helium shell
flash, would have likely lead to the expansion of the primary, leading immediately to a
merger with the close companion and possibly the second (optical) nebula.

There are similarities in the properties of optical lobes and torus of NGC 6302 with
‘intermediate-luminosity optical transients’ (ILOT) which are explosive events with energies
intermediate between novae and supernovae acoording to Soker & Kashi(2012).
