Abstract:
We have measured the [O III] λ5007 fluxes of the brightest
planetaries in the LMC (102 objects) and SMC (31 objects) using
narrow-band imaging at the CTIO 0.9m telescope. Our fluxes agree to
-5% with photoelectric measurements available in the literature
(31 objects); agreement is much worse for objects with only
spectrophotometric observations. Using the fluxes for the complete
sample of bright LMC planetaries, we derive a distance using the
planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF).
