Abstract

Context.Galactic planetary nebulae are observed with a wide variety of kinematic properties, spatial distribution, chemical composition and morphologies, comprising members of the dominant stellar populations of our Galaxy. Due to their broad astrophysical interest, a proper characterization of these populations is of major importance.
