****************************************************** PR # 22003 Detection of x-rays from several planetary nebulae by ROSAT opens a new area of research. ROSAT spectra show that the emitting gas is too hot to be from the star, but cooler than expected from the shocked stellar wind. ASCA line spectra of BD~+30~3639 will allow us to determine the temperature and chemical composition of the emitting gas. The emission is likely to arise in mass-loaded flows of the hot, shocked stellar wind past cooler nebular material. The wind and nebula in BD~+30~3639 have very different chemical compositions, so the extent of mixing can be determined. Because the wind-nebula interaction is of wide importance, we have obtained HST time to image this nebula. ASCA observations will be crucial for interpreting the HST images and understanding t ******************************************************
