Testing Cluster Membership of Planetary Nebulae with High-precision Proper Motions. I. HST Observations of JaFu 1 Near the Globular Cluster Palomar 6

If a planetary nebula (PN) is shown to be a member of a star cluster, we obtain important new constraints on the mass and chemical composition of the PN’s progenitor star, which cannot be determined for PNe in the field. Cluster membership can be tested by requiring the projected separation between...
