Object name: PK49+2.1Designation(s): PK49+2.1, PN G049.4+02.4/M 4-12/Hen 2-428/PK 049+02.1 among its many designations is a rather distorted planetary nebula in northern Aquila. Its shape is likely due to distortions caused by its interaction with the interstellar medium. I found one paper putting it at 1000 parsecs +/- 100 parsecs. Several papers say the central star is a binary star. Related Designation(s):PK49+2.1, |
