Protoplanetary Nebulae

Protoplanetary Nebulae is a short-lived transitional phase in stellar evolution, classified as a circumstellar nebula, that forms when an asymptotic giant branch star expels its outer layers, which are subsequently ionized by the increasing ultraviolet radiation from the hot central remnant, distinguishing it from planetary nebulae by its cooler central star and dominant infrared emission from dust.
