Abstract:
The distances of planetary nebulae (PNe) are still quite uncertain.
Although observational estimates are available for a small proportion
of PNe, based on statistical parallax and the like, such distances are
very poorly determined for the majority of galactic PNe. In
particular, estimates of so-called 'statistical' distance appear to
differ by factors of ∼2.7. We point out that there is a well-defined
correlation between the 5-GHz luminosity of the sources, L5, and
their brightness temperatures, TB.
