Abstract

It has been shown in several independent investigations that the multiple-shell phenomenon is prevalent in planetary nebulae. Despite the common classification, the multiple shell planetary nebulae are a heterogeneous group of objects, as testified by the wide variety of their morphologies and physical structures. There are two types of double-shell structures that are seen frequently: one has an inner shell expanding supersonically into a faint, subsonically expanding halo, and the other has a bright attached envelope co-expanding with the inner shell. The physical structures and relative elemental abundances in the shells are reviewed, and their possible formation mechanisms are discussed.
