Scientific paper

We propose a survey of X-ray emission from planetary nebulae (PNs) that builds on our previous Chandra discoveries of extended X-ray emission from PNs. The proposed program, consisting of Chandra/ACIS observations of a sample of well-studied, representative objects, has the potential to firmly establish extended X-ray emission as a defining characteristic of the class of young, molecule-rich PNs. By enabling the investigation of the morphology and evolution of X-ray emission in PNs and the determination of physical conditions that are otherwise inaccessible to study in these nebulae, these observations will provide stringent tests of contemporary theories of PN formation and evolution.
