Planetary Nebulae: A Probe of the Galaxies Evolution up to the Hubble Time
Abstract
Chemical evolution of the galactic and extragalactic planetary nebulae (PNe) system beginning from the early age of the Galaxy is investigated. We determine the radial and vertical abundance gradients for C, N, O, Ne, Ar, Cl and S in a dependence on mass and age of the progenitor stars of the nebula. In the Table 1 we compare the galactic abundance gradients for O and Ne for our and neigbour galaxies.
