STEFFEN, W.  y  LOPEZ, J. A.. Morpho-Kinematic Modeling of Gaseous Nebulae with Shape. Rev. mex. astron. astrofis [online]. 2006, vol.42, n.1, pp.99-105. ISSN 0185-1101.

We present a powerful new tool to analyse and disentangle the 3-D geometry and kinematic structure of gaseous nebulae. The method consists in combining commercially available digital animation software to simulate the 3-D structure and expansion pattern of the nebula with a dedicated, purpose-built rendering software that produces the final images and long slit spectra which are compared to the real data. We show results for the complex planetary nebulae NGC 6369 and Abell 30 based on long slit spectra obtained at the San Pedro Mártir Observatory.

Palabras llave : ISM [KINEMATICS AND DYNAMICS]; PLANETARY NEBULAE [INDIVIDUAL (NGC 6369, ABELL 30)]; STARS [MASS LOSS].
