Although rare, planetary nebulae have been extensively studied by astronomers. This affection is certainly due in part to the beauty of the gaseous nebulae but it is also due to the belief that many, probably most, stars of intermediate mass (1–4 M) become planetary nebulae at least once during their lifetimes. If the planetary nebula is an (almost) inevitable stage in stellar evolution, it is important to determine its evolutionary precursors and followers. The latter are likely to be the white dwarfs and the former are generally believed to be red giants. With the advent of infrared and radio techniques it now appears possible, for the first time, to specify the immediate progenitors of planetary nebulae.
