Abstract

Highly collimated bipolar outflows and jets have been recently observed to be associated with some planetary nebulae. Assuming that the mechanism of jet formation requires the presence of an accretion disk, we examine the possibilities to form such disks in the case of planetary nebulae with binary nuclei. We show that at the emergence from the common envelope phase, some systems can form accretion disks. Planetary nebulae therefore form the newest addition to the classes of objects (which so far include active galactic nuclei, young stellar objects, and some X-ray binaries) which produce jets.
