Abstract

We analyse 42 emission-line nuclei of Planetary Nebulae (PNe), in the framework of a large spectrophotometric survey of [WC] nuclei of PNe conducted since 1994, using low/medium resolution spectra obtained at ESO and at OHP. We construct a grid of selected line-intensities (normalized to C IV-5806{AA}=100) ordered by decreasing ionisation potential going from 871 to 24eV. In this grid, the stars appear to belong clearly to prominent O (hot [WO1-4] types) or C (cooler [WC4-11] types) line-sequences, in agreement with the classification of massive WR stars applied to Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae (CSPNe) by Crowther et al. (1998MNRAS.296..367C, CMB98). We propose 20 selected line ratios and the FWHM of CIV and CIII lines as classification diagnostics, which agree well with the 7 line ratios and the FWHM proposed by CMB98.
