| Description | We propose to trace the distribution of cold dust in the extended envelopes of a selected sample of young Planetary Nebulae (PNe). Information on the mass-loss and overall envelope ejection process of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars is imprinted in the morphology of the extended dust shells formed throughout the AGB phase. In particular the origin of asymmetrical PN shapes and their relation to spherical mass-loss presumed to occur on the AGB phase can be illuminated upon. We propose to use PACS to follow-up on AKARI/FIS observations of young PNe to study their mass-loss history. Only Herschel.s unprecedented spatial resolution and sensitivity in the far-IR can detect the faint extended cold dust emission in these objects. |

| Mission Description | Herschel was launched on 14 May 2009! It is the fourth 'cornerstone' mission in the ESA science programme. With a 3.5 m Cassegrain telescope it is the largest space telescope ever launched. It is performing photometry and spectroscopy in approximately the 55-671 µm range, bridging the gap between earlier infrared space missions and groundbased facilities. |
