RESUMEN
Stellar evolution studies are hindered by the lack of a solid link connecting the initial and final stellar properties, which is crucial for understanding how stars evolve and contribute to the chemical enrichment of galaxies. This key problem can be resolved by studying stars that are both members of well-characterized star clusters and at the final stages of their evolution. In such cases, their final properties can be determined from direct measurements, while the properties of their progenitors can be inferred from independent cluster studies. Here, we focus on the study of planetary nebulae that are confirmed members of Galactic open star clusters. Although such systems are very rare, with only five confirmed to date, they reveal extreme and otherwise undetectable planetary nebula properties and provide new insights into the evolution of low-to-intermediate mass stars.
