Scientific paper

Magellanic Cloud Planetary Nebulae (PNs) offer insight of both the population and evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars, in environments that are free of the distance bias and the differential reddening that hinder the observations of the Galactic sample. The study of LMC and SMC PNs also offers the direct comparison of stellar populations with different metallicity. We present a selection of the results from our recent HST surveys, including (1) the morphological analysis of Magellanic PNs, and the statistics of the morphological samples in the LMC and the SMC; (2) the surface brightness versus radius relationship; and (3) the analysis and modeling of the [O III]/H(beta) PN luminosity functions in the LMC and the SMC.
