abstract: 'We present [*Hubble Space Telescope*]{} ([*HST*]{}) images of new planetary nebulae (PNe) that were discovered in the Reid-Parker AAO/UKST H$\alpha$ survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud. These serendipitous observations from various [*HST*]{} programs yield independent confirmations of 6 PNe; one other detected nebula may also be a PN, and one appears to be a region of diffuse emission. The high resolution [*HST*]{} archival images enable us to determine the physical sizes, the nebular morphology, and related features of these new PNe in detail for the first time. In a few cases we were also able to identify the central star, which was impossible with the lower resolution, wide-field discovery data. The confirmation of faint, extended halos surrounding many PNe in the RP catalog must await the acquisition of new deep, high-resolution, narrow-band imagery.'

Introduction
============

The study of planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Magellanic Clouds spans half a century, but it has received renewed attention in the past half decade. New discovery surveys, detailed spectroscopic studies, and a greater understanding of the Magellanic
