We analyse the population of PNe and links between binary PNNi and stars which are in the later evolutionary stages. In a model which assumes that all stars are born in binaries, about 16% of PN result from ejection of common envelopes in close binaries, 85% of single PNNi are formed by merger of components of binaries. In the model, 5% of PNNi may be precataclysmic binaries, 5% may be precursors of symbiotic stars, 0.4% may be pre-SN Ia, 0.1% - precursors of hydrogen-deficient giants. About 0.1% of all PNe may be hydrogen-deficient.

Central Stars

Very hot central stars (CSPN) of highly excited planetary nebulae (PN) display directly the formation of white dwarfs. Only a few of these CSPN have been analyzed so far due to their low brightness and thus, the interpretation of their evolutionary status is hampered by statistical incompleteness. In the last decade many spectral analyses of very hot post-AGB stars by means of state-of-the-art NLTE model atmospheres have been performed (e.g. Rauch et al. 1996; Werner & Rauch 1994; Rauch & Werner 1995) and our picture of post-AGB evolution has been improved.

Central Stars

A high-resolution IUE spectral atlas of central stars of planetary nebulae and hot white dwarfs has been produced (part of Tweedy, 1991, PhD thesis from the University of Leicester, UK), and examples from it are shown here. It has been sorted into an approximate evolutionary sequence, based on published spectroscopic analyses, from the cool 28,000K young central star He 2–138, through the hot objects like NGC 7293 and NGC 246 at 90,000K and 130,000K respectively, down to 40,000K DA white dwarfs like GD 2, which is the chosen cutoff for this selection. Copies of a revised version of this atlas, which will include more recent spectroscopic information and also white dwarfs down to 35,000K – to include the Si III object GD 394 – will be sent to anyone who requests one.

The following four tables were originally presented as part of the paper entitled ‘Basic Data on Hydrogen-Deficient Stars’ by J. S. Drilling, which appears earlier in this volume. A number of corrections and additions have been made by the participants, mostly by P. W. Hill using the SIMBAD data base. A much improved version of the catalog therefore follows. Helium-rich central stars of planetary nebulae, helium-rich white dwarfs, and Wolf-Rayet stars are not included. A complete list of helium-rich central stars is given by Mendez et al. elsewhere in this volume.
