We found about 120 PNe observed by GALEX. We have determined the angular diameter of PNe in NUV and also in FUV for whichever source detection exists considering a 3-sigma emission level above the background . We then compared and discussed the sizes of these PNe with the sizes obtained at other wavelengths. We have also discussed ultraviolet spectra and morphology of some of the prominent PNe in our sample. |
