| dc.description | The recent HST optical images, and the optical and ultraviolet spectra, of Magellanic planetary nebulae (PNe), together with the large data-base that has been collected in the past decade, allows unprecedented insight in the evolution of PNe and their central stars. In this paper we present a selection of recent results: The analysis of PN morphology, both in the optical and ultra-violet emission lines; the relation between nebular morphology and the chemistry produced by stellar evolution; the direct determination of the transition time from observations; and the study of the nature and evolutionary stage of the components of the planetary nebula luminosity function. | |
