Abstract:
    We have compiled the intensities of the HeII 4686 lines measured in
    Galactic planetary nebulae. We present a few observational diagrams
    related to this parameter, and discuss them with the help of
    theoretical diagrams obtained from simple model planetary nebulae
    surrounding evolving central stars of various masses. We determine the
    hydrogen and helium Zanstra temperature for all the objects with
    accurate enough data. We argue that, for Galactic planetary nebulae as
    a whole, the main cause for the Zanstra discrepancy is leakage of
    stellar ionizing photons from the nebulae.
