Scientific paper

We present ESO NTT high resolution echelle spectroscopy of the central stars (CSs) of eight southern bipolar planetary nebulae (PNe) selected for their asymmetry. Our aim was to determine or place limits on the magnetic fields of the CSs of these nebulae, and hence to explore the role played by magnetic fields in nebular morphology and PN shaping. Overall, our results indicate that if magnetic fields are responsible for shaping bipolar planetary nebulae, these are not required to be greater than a few tens of kilogauss.
