dc.descriptionThe determination of accurate chemical abundances of planetary nebulae (PN) in different galaxies allows us to obtain important constraints of chemical evolution models for these systems. We have a long term program to derive abundances in the galaxies of the Local Group, particularly the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. In this work, we present our new results on these objects and discuss their implications in view of recent abundance determinations the literature. In particular, we obtain distance-independent correlations involving He, N, O, Ne, S, and Ar, and compare the results with data from our own Galaxy and other galaxies in the Local Group. As a result of our observational program, we have a large database of PN in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds, so that we can obtain reliable constraints to the nucleosynthesis processes in the progenitor stars in galaxies of different metallicities.
