    The authors investigate localized structures that consist of an oscillatory pattern with finite spatial range that appears within a homogeneous background state. These structures can be viewed as gluing a front and a back together to create a localized structure. The authors provide a unified approach to rigorously address the stability of symmetric and asymmetric localized snaking solutions. It is shown that, under appropriate assumptions, temporal eigenvalues of the front and back underlying a localized solution are added with multiplicity in the right half plane. The planar Swift-Hohenberg system is used to illustrate results.
