Planetary Nebulae (Iau S323) - Multi-Wavelength Probes of Stellar and Galactic Evolution

Planetary nebulae are important laboratories for understanding processes in different cosmic environments and for studying stellar and galactic evolution.

List of contents

1. A census of the post-AGB stars and PN populations; 2. PNe as a versatile laboratory I; 3. PNe as a versatile laboratory II; 4. From the AGB to the WD stellar phases; 5. The connection between binary evolution and PN phenomena; 6. PNe in nearby galaxies and chemical evolution; 7. PNe outside of the local group; 8. First results from Gaia and looking to the future; Poster presentations; Author index.

Summary

Planetary nebulae are the spectacular products of the evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars. IAU Symposium 323 describes their importance as laboratories for the understanding of atomic, molecular, dust, and plasma processes in different cosmic environments and enable the exploration of the physics of stellar and galactic evolution.
