Planetary Nebulae Beyond the Milky Way Proceedings of the ESO Workshop held at Garching, Germany, 19-21 May, 2004 /

In the last decade extra-galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) have gained increasing importance. Improved observational capabilities have allowed fainter and fainter PNe to be studied in galaxies well beyond the Milky Way. Planetary nebulae can be detected to at least 30Mpc. They are found in galaxies o...
