Scientific paper

CCD spectra for a sample of 8 type I planetary nebulae in the LMC were obtained in the wavelength region λλ3800-8200 A. Electronic temperatures, densities and resulting abundances of He, N, O, S and Ar were obtained, where in particular the uncertainties in the He and O abundances are discussed. Using results from stellar nucleosynthesis we estimated from the S/O and Ar/O ratios that the relative number of type I supernovae in the LMC appear to be twice higher than in our Galaxy.
