Notes. The sum of the dust mass within the three shells and a gas-to-dust ratio of 100 results in a total mass of ∼6.5 × 10−3M within the Fried Egg Nebula. We note that the reported total mass does not include the outermost shell modelled in Hutsemékers et al. (2013). The reported kinematic scales and mass-loss rates correspond to an expansion velocity, υexp, of 30 km s−1, and therefore provide upper and lower limits. respectively.
