Despite t heir significance\, various issues concerning these objects remain unsolve d. Interstellar extinction by dust hampers the detection of many Galactic PNe at optical wavelengths while their largely unknown distances and proge nitor masses are two key parameters that hamper deeper understanding.  \; Identification of dust obscured PNe can be partially solved with observ ations at longer wavelengths where extinction effects are less serious and by multi-wavelength techniques proposed for their detection. Here\, the e fficacy of these methods is evaluated for identification of new Galactic P N candidates. \; PNe in Galactic star clusters have distances and prog enitor masses determined independently from cluster color-magnitude diagra ms. Here\, we study the first confirmed PN-open cluster pair (PHR1315-6555 – AL 1) identifying its central star and measuring its physical propertie s. We also demonstrate in detail the physical association of PN BMP J1613- 5406 with Galactic open cluster NGC 6067. The PN’s progenitor mass is ~5.6 Msun. Finally\, we provide preliminary details on several additional case s of possible PN-cluster associations we have uncovered. Our new PN-open c luster associations contribute to the improvement of the initial-to-final mass relation and our multi-wavelength study suggests that a new era begin s for the identification of Galactic PNe hidden by dust. https://astronomi a.uc.cl/2jucext1/institutoastrofisica/es/instituto/seminarios/evento/355-g alactic-planetary-nebulae-with-emphasis-on-those-that-are-members-of-open- star-clusters-vasiliki-fragkou-university-of-hong-kong DTSTART:20190606T171500Z DTEND:20190606T174500Z LOCATION:Seminar Room (Instituto de Astrofísica\, Pontificia Universidad Ca tólica\, Vicuña Mackenna 4860\, Santiago\, Chile) SUMMARY:Galactic Planetary Nebulae with Emphasis on those that are Members of Open Star Clusters (Vasiliki Fragkou\; University of Hong Kong) URL:https://astronomia.uc.cl/2jucext1/institutoastrofisica/es/instituto/sem inarios/evento/355-galactic-planetary-nebulae-with-emphasis-on-those-that- are-members-of-open-star-clusters-vasiliki-fragkou-university-of-hong-kong END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
