Low dispersion spectroscopy of point-symmetric planetary nebulae

Abstract
We present an observational study of three oint-ymmetric lanetary ebulae (PS-PNe): PC 19, He 2-429, and He 1-1, whose kinematics has been previously reported in the literature. The study includes an analysis of physical conditions and chemical abundances. We found that the abundances of He 2-429 and He 1-1 correspond to a Peimbert Type I PNe while those of PC 19 are in good agreement with a Type IV PN. Kinematic evidence derived from proper motion measurement support PC 19 classification and suggest that the progenitor star was a low-mass low-metallicity member of the galactic halo population.
