Stellar Populations in the Local Group: Contribution from Planetary Nebulae
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2006
Abstract
Planetary nebulae (PN) are favourite objects in the study of stellar populations both in the Galaxy and in other objects as well, due to their high brightness and the considerable range in their kinematic properties and chemical composition. In this work, we take into account available data samples of PN in Local Group galaxies and compare the derived information from different objects, particularly regarding their chemical composition, space distribution, kinematics, and the PN luminosity function.
