Abstract

Data from long-term spectral observations of two young planetary nebulae are presented. A significant enhancement of the radiation fluxes in all emission lines and a higher degree of ionization of the gas are detected in the spectrum of M1-46. The opposite effect is observed in the spectrum of M1-65. Over 10 years (2005-2015) the radiative fluxes in the emission lines fell by a factor of 2-3, after which they began to increase. The cause of the observed variability may be a change in the temperature of the central star or a change in the inhomogeneous structure of the nebula through which the ionizing radiation passes.
