The Structure of the Molecular Envelope of the Ring Nebula (NGC 6720)

We present the first interferometric imaging of molecular line emission from the Ring Nebula, NGC 6720, in the form of Submillimeter Array (SMA) observations of CO J  = 2 → 1 emission. The SMA ^12 CO(2–1) mapping data, with ∼3″ spatial resolution and 2 km s ^−1 velocity resolution, provide an unprec...
