Abstract
The CO (J = 1-0) emission at 115.271 GHz from the compact planetary nebula IRAS 21282 + 5050 has been mapped. The results suggest that the CO gas forms an expanding torus with an axis along the east-west direction, normal to the line of sight. The kinematical age of the torus is estimated at about 21,000 D yr, where D is the distance to IRAS 21282 + 5050 in kpc. It is concluded that IRAS 21282 + 5050 is in earlier evolutionary stage of planetary nebular than NGC 7027 and NGC 2346. 20 refs.
