M31: Planetary Nebulae

Scientific paper

We present the first results of a wide field survey for planetary nebulae throughout M31 undertaken at the KPNO 0.9m telescope with the Mosaic camera. So far, images in [O III]λ5007 and its continuum filter have been analyzed. Our survey appears to be at least 90% complete to about 2 mag below the peak of the planetary nebula luminosity function. Over 900 planetary nebulae candidates have been found within a 12 square degree area.
