Abstract
Aims.We determined the nature and Peimbert type of two low-excitation planetary nebulae, PNG 232.0+05.7 and IRAS 19336-0400.
Methods.We used low resolution optical spectroscopy in the range 3200-9000 Å.
Results.We derived line intensities, reddening, physical conditions (electron density and temperature) and ionic and elemental abundances. Based on the abundance analysis and its radial velocity we conclude that PNG 232.0+05.7 is a halo planetary nebulae. This discovery thus adds this object to the sample of ten known halo planetary nebulae. IRAS 19336-0400 is probably a type III planetary nebulae, as strongly suggested by its abundances and high radial velocity, although this conclusion awaits a better estimation of its distance.

Key words: planetary nebulae: individual: PN G232.0+05.7 -- planetary nebulae: individual: IRAS 19336+0400

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

• If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
• You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
• You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
