Abstract: Planetary nebulae (PNe) and symbiotic stars (SY), are both a product of the evolution of low and medium mass stars. They are not easy to distinguished with photometric data alone. However the use of some diagnostic diagrams could help to distinguish these objects between them and from other type of evolved objects like Red Giants, Mira, cataclysmic variables, etc. We present the results of the automatic classification based on GAIA photometry data from releases DR2 and EDR3. The classification was made using different algorithms and the results compared in basis of their accuracy. The training catalogue was constructed using the GAIA parameters (Gmag, BP mag and RP mag) which were complemented with J, H and K magnitudes from the 2MASS catalogue and some b−v colors when they were available from SIMBAD database. We present the results concerning the accuracy obtained and the better combination of parameters to achieve the best effectiveness. It was found that the b−v color, used frequently to separate NPs from SY, can be replaced by GAIA colors: Gmag−BPmag or BPmag−RPmag with advantage over b−v in some diagnostic diagrams, due to the wider availability of GAIA’s indices. The inclusion of red giants on the database show the inherent difficulties to successful separate them due to the wide range of colors they can present. The access to the GAIA spectra will allow us to separate these objects from the NPs and SS (work in progress).
