Abstract:
We present the results of a planetary nebula survey of M31's bulge
performed with the Kitt Peak No. 1, 0.9m telescope and on-band
off-band λ5007 filters. We detected a total of 429 planetary
nebulae (PNs), of which 104 are members of a statistically complete
and homogeneous sample covering the top 2.5mag of the planetary nebula
luminosity function (PNLF).
