Abstract
The study of extragalactic planetary nebulae has made rapid progress in recent years with the help of high quantum efficiency detectors. A brief but distinctive phase in the late stage of stellar evolution, planetary nebulae (PNe) are not only interesting objects in their own right, but also are extremely valuable and unique tools for probing the host galaxies. Recent studies have used planetary nebulae as test particles to investigate the dynamics and mass distributions in the halos of early type galaxies.
