Abstract
We present a study of the high-resolution spectroscopic data for the proto-planetary nebula candidate IRAS 01005+7910. For the first time a careful spectral line identification is carried out, and a significant variability of the optical spectrum is detected. We found absorption lines of C II/III, N II, O II, Al III, Si III, and Mg II ( $\lambda4481$ Å), as well as emission lines of Si II and [Fe II]. Both absorption and emission components are present in the Balmer lines, Na I resonance D _1,2 lines, He I, and Fe III lines. The He I line profiles vary from straight to inverse P Cyg-type on a timescale of days to months. The resonance Na I lines show 5 absorption components at a resolution of $R=60\,000$ . Additionally, the Na I D ₂ line exhibits a variable emission component with a width comparable to that of the Balmer line emission components. Using the model atmospheres method within the LTE-approximation, the effective temperature ( $T_\mathrm{eff}\sim21\,500$ K), the metallicity $\mathrm{[Fe/H]}_\odot=-0.31$ , and the ratio C/O>1 is reported. Finally, we suggest that IRAS 01005+7910 is a carbon-rich post-AGB star with a luminosity $\log(L/L_\odot)=3.6$ at a distance about 3 kpc.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
