Abstract
Recent work on the PN classification scheme initially proposed by Peimbert has shown that objects of types I, II, and III have markedly different properties such as central star mass, height distribution relative to the galactic plane, and kinematic behaviour. This fact can be used in order to determine distances, especially for the younger disk objects.
