Descripción
As part of a systematic effort to characterize the properties and
progenitors of the most luminous planetary nebulae (PNe), we obtained a
sample among the brightest PNe in two stellar systems of different
metallicities: LMC (Z/Z⊙~0.5) and M31
(Z/Z⊙~1) by means of a combined effort with the VLT and
the 10mGTC. Modelling of these data will allow us to infer the masses of
the stellar progenitors, gaining insights into the controversial origin
of the universal cutoff of the Planetary Nebulae Luminosity Function
(PNLF).
