Context. Individual distances to planetary nebulae are of the utmost relevance for our understanding of post-asymptotic giant-branch evolution because they allow a precise determination of stellar and nebular properties. Also, objects with individual distances serve as calibrators for the so-called statistical distances based on secondary nebular properties. Aims. With independently known distances, it is possible to check empirically our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary nebulae as suggested by existing hydrodynamical simulations. Methods. We compared the expansion parallaxes that have recently been determined for a number of planetary nebulae with the trigonometric parallaxes provided by the Gaia Data Release 2. Results. Except for two out of 11 nebulae, we found good agreement between the expansion and the Gaia trigonometric parallaxes without any systematic trend with distance. Therefore, the Gaia measurements also prove that the correction factors necessary to convert proper motions of shocks into Doppler velocities cannot be ignored. Rather, the size of these correction factors and their evolution with time as predicted by 1D hydrodynamical models of planetary nebulae is basically validated. These correction factors are generally greater than unity and are different for the outer shell and the inner bright rim of a planetary nebula. The Gaia measurements also confirm earlier findings that spectroscopic methods often lead to an overestimation of the distance. They also show that even modelling of the entire system of star and nebula by means of sophisticated photoionisation modelling may not always provide reliable results. Conclusions. The Gaia measurements confirm the basic correctness of the present radiation-hydrodynamics models, which predict that both the shell and the rim of a planetary nebula are two independently expanding entities, created and driven by different physical processes, namely thermal pressure (shell) or wind interaction (rim), both of which vary differently with time.

The data available on permitted and forbidden line intensities of the planetary nebula NGC 7027 have been analyzed in terms of non-constant density models. The significance of the derived density distribution is discussed. Some implications to the determination of the chemical abundances are also discussed.

Method Of Determination

I would like to make a few comments on the problem of the determination of the temperatures of nuclei of planetary nebulae.It can be shown that in a high-excitation planetary nebula two independent Strömgren zones of heavy elements can be found. The first is a He III zone; the second corresponds to a zone of the luminescence of Ne V forbidden lines and originates due to combined absorption by the heavy ions Ne IV, O V and N V. If so, a relatively independent method of the determination of the color temperature of nuclei can be suggested.
