(Sub)mm-Wavelength Observations of Pre-Planetary Nebulae and Young Planetary Nebulae
This is a non-comprehensive review of observations of pre-Planetary Nebulae (pPNe) and young Planetary Nebulae (yPNe) at (sub)mm-wavelengths, a valuable window for probing multi-phased gas and dust in these objects.

Planetary nebula or symbiotic Mira? Near infrared colours mark the difference [PDF]
Nebulae around symbiotic Miras look very much like genuine planetary nebulae, although they are formed in a slightly different way. We present near infrared photometry of known and suspected symbiotic nebulae obtained with the Deep Near Infrared Southern Sky Survey (DENIS).

Molecules in planetary nebulae [PDF]
The study of molecules in planetary nebulae is still in its infancy; therefore, it is appropriate both to review existing knowledge and to anticipate developments that will arise as the subject matures. Briefly stated, this subject consists of observations of hydrogen, H2, and carbon monoxide, CO, molecules in a very few nebulae; the tentative ...

Planetary Nebulae Embryo after a Common Envelope Event
In the centers of some planetary nebulae are found close binary stars. The formation of those planetary nebulae was likely through a common envelope event, which transformed an initially-wide progenitor binary into the currently observed close binary ...

Planetary Nebulae and the Ionization of the Interstellar Medium in Galaxies
We discuss the role of planetary nebulae and their progeny in galaxy context in terms of ionization of the galaxy interstellar medium. This regards ionized gas outside the disk of spiral galaxies, the diffuse ionized medium in spiral galaxies, and the ...

An HST Snapshot Survey of Proto-Planetary Nebulae Candidates: Two Types of Axisymmetric Reflection Nebulosities [PDF]
We report the results from an optical imaging survey of proto-planetary nebula candidates using the HST. We exploited the high resolving power and wide dynamic range of HST and detected nebulosities in 21 of 27 sources. All detected reflection nebulosities show elongation, and the nebula morphology bifurcates depending on the degree of the central star

A Dedicated Camera For Extragalactic Planetary Nebulae: The Planetary Nebula Spectrograph [PDF]
Photometry in [OIII] emission of Planetary Nebulae in external galaxies can be used to determine distances as great as that of the Virgo cluster and beyond, as forcefully argued elsewhere during this conference (G.H. Jacoby, invited talk). In addition, measurement of the radial velocities of the PN allows dynamical behaviour to be probed to much ...
