Scientific paper

This three-day ESO workshop, held from 19 to 21 May 2004, devoted to extra-galactic planetary nebulae (PN), was the first full workshop on the topic. Previously there had been discussions of extra-galactic PN on the final day of the pentennial IAU Symposium on Planetary Nebulae (last held in Canberra in 2001) and a one day meeting during the IAU General Assembly in den Haag in 1994. The field has expanded considerably in the last decade with many PN now detected in Local Group galaxies, extensive surveys underway in nearby early-type galaxies and in the intergalaxy regions of galaxy clusters, together with the use of PNe as kinematic probes for galaxy potentials. There are currently many thousands of PN catalogued in external galaxies, far surpassing the approximately 1500 known in the Milky Way.
