Abstract

Currently, ~844 Planetary Nebulae (PN) are catalogued in our Galaxy as “possible PN”, i.e. 40% of de whole sample of PN. Taking into account the great diversity that these objects display both in their morphologies and in their central stars (CSPN). In addition, we have no certainty of the evolutionary path of the CSPN nor the mechanisms by which the nebulae adopt such morphology. In this sense we need to increase the sample of bonafide PN. We propose to obtain narrow band image with GMOS of 10 possible PN which are very poorly study. These data will provide evidence that will contribute to defining the nature of these objections.
