| Description | We propose to trace the distribution of cold dust in the extended envelopes of aselected sample of young Planetary Nebulae (PNe). Information on the mass-loss andoverall envelope ejection process of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars isimprinted in the morphology of the extended dust shells formed throughout the AGBphase. 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. Wepropose to use PACS to follow-up on AKARI/FIS observations of young PNe to studytheir mass-loss history. Only Herschels unprecedented spatial resolution andsensitivity in the far-IR can detect the faint extended cold dust emission in theseobjects. |

| 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. |
