University of Illinois Astronomy Professor Ronald F. Webbink and collaborators H.E. Bond and D.L. Pollacco have discovered the first example of a newly-formed barium star. Barium stars are believed to be produced by pollution from a thermally-pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TPAGB) binary companion which has long since died as a (now unseen) white dwarf. Only here, the TPAGB star must be very recently-expired, since we see the planetary nebula which its hot, exposed core still ionizes. A two-color image of the nebula, WeBo 1 (Webbink-Bond 1), obtained by H.E. Bond at KPNO, is shown at left; the barium star is the bright star at its center. The announcement paper (Bond, Pollacco & Webbink 2002) has been submitted to ApJ Letters.
