The analysis of Planetary Nebulae (PNe) provides a tool to investigate the properties of their exciting central stars (CSPN) at the moment of the PN ejection as well as on the properties of the ambient interstellar medium (ISM). The spectral analysis of the CSPN is a prerequisite to calculate the ionizing flux which is a crucial input for reliable PN modeling. In the framework of a systematic study of PNe interacting with the ISM, we present preliminary results of ongoing NLTE spectral analyses of ten of their CS based on new optical medium-resolution spectra.

Planetary Nebulae (PNe) are the result of heavy mass loss of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. They are understood in terms of Kwoks (1978) interacting-winds model as the product of the mass-loss history on the AGB and the central star (CS) ev
olution. Since the CS are close to the end of nuclear burning and at their hottest stage of evolution then, precise modeling of these pre-white dwarfs is a prerequisite in order to calculate reliable ionizing fluxes which are crucial input for the presently available 3D photoionization codes. In the framework of a systematic study of PNe which show evidence for an interaction with the ISM, we present a NLTE analysis of their CS.
We present preliminary results obtained from the analysis of very deep echelle spectra of a dozen planetary nebulae with [WC] or weak emission lines (wels) central stars. The computed abundance discrepancy factors (ADFs) are moderate, with values low
er than 4. In principle, no evidence of the H-poor metal enriched inclusions proposed by Liu et al. (2000) have been found. However, a detailed analysis of the data is in progress.
Spectral analysis by means of NLTE model atmospheres has presently arrived at a high level of sophistication. High-resolution spectra of central stars of planetary nebulae can be reproduced in detail from the infrared to the X-ray wavelength range.
In the case of LSV +4621, the exciting star of Sh 2-216, we demonstrate the state-of-the-art in the determination of photospheric properties like, e.g., effective temperature, surface gravity, and abundances of elements from hydrogen to nickel. From such detailed model atmospheres, we can reliably predict the ionizing spectrum of a central star which is a necessary input for the precise analysis of its ambient nebula. NLTE model-atmosphere spectra, however, are not only accessible for specialists. In the framework of the German Astrophysical Virtual Observatory (GAVO), we provide pre-calculated grids of tables with synthetic spectra of hot, compact stars as well as a tool to calculate individual model-atmosphere spectra in order to make the use of synthetic stellar spectra as easy as the use of blackbody flux distributions had been in the last century.
GW Vir variables are the pulsating members in the spectroscopic class of PG 1159 stars. In order to understand the characteristic differences between pulsating and non-pulsating PG 1159 stars, we analyse FUSE spectra of eleven objects, of which six a
re pulsating, by means of state-of-the-art NLTE model atmospheres. The numerous metal lines in the FUV spectra of these stars allow a precise determination of the photospheric parameters. We present here preliminary results of our analysis.
Thanks to SAURON integral-field observations we uncovered the Planetary Nebulae (PNe) populations inhabiting the central and nuclear regions of our galactic neighbours M32 and M31, respectively, and discuss the significant differences between their c
orresponding PNe luminosity functions in light of the properties of their parent stellar populations. In particular, we conclude that the lack of bright PNe in the nuclear regions of M31 is likely linked to the nearly Solar value for the stellar metallicity, consistent with previous suggestions that a larger metallicity would bias the Horizontal-Branch (HB) populations toward bluer colors, with fewer red HB stars capable of producing PNe and more blue HB stars that instead could contribute to the far-UV flux that is observed in metal-rich early-type galaxies and, incidentally, also in the nucleus of M31.
