Planetary Nebulae As Astronomical Tools
Planetary nebulae are gaseous envelopes ejected from solar-type stars at the end of their lives. They have traditionally been considered by specialists as testbeds for theories of stellar evolution and as laboratories to study the physics of warm nebular gases. This conference explored the potential of planetary nebulae as tools for astronomy.
