Extragalactic Planetary Nebula: Methods of Discovery Using Infrared Photometry

  • Conference paper
Planetary Nebulae Beyond the Milky Way

Abstract

Methods for discovering new planetary nebulae based on their characteristic near-, mid- and far-infrared photometric colours are presented. We describe the methods and review the results obtained for Galactic sources. Their possible application to extragalactic searches is discussed.
