Abstract:
We report the results of [O III] λ5007 surveys for planetary
nebulae (PNe) in six galaxies: NGC 2403, NGC 3115, NGC 3351, NGC 3627,
NGC 4258, and NGC 5866. Using on-band/off-band [O III] λ5007
images, as well as images taken in Hα, we identify samples of
PNe in these galaxies and derive their distances using the planetary
nebula luminosity function (PNLF).
