Observations of Raman-scattered He II lines in RR Telescopii reveal distinct velocities tracing different H I depths and temporal declines in conversion efficiency, implying the neutral region needs complex radiative transfer models beyond a single column density.

abstract
Eleven objects that have been reported as proto-planetary nebula or as young planetary nebulae that show very extended Halpha wings are presented. The extension of these wings is larger than 800 km/s. Data for two symbiotic stars that show this same characteristic is also presented. Raman scattering is the mechanism that best explains the wings in 10 of the PNe and in the 2 symbiotic stars. In the PN IRAS 20462+3416 the wing profile can be explained by very intense stellar wind.

High-Resolution Spectroscopy of Raman-scattered He II Lines in the Symbiotic Nova RR Telescopii
Observations of Raman-scattered He II lines in RR Telescopii reveal distinct velocities tracing different H I depths and temporal declines in conversion efficiency, implying the neutral region needs complex radiative transfer models beyond a single column density.
