The first two pulsating planetary-nebula nuclei (PNNs), those of K 1-16 and Lo 4, were discovered by Grauer & Bond (1984) and Bond & Meakes (1990). They are nonradial multiperiodic g-mode pulsators, with typical periods near 25–31 min and low amplitudes (up to ∼ 0.05–0.1 mag). These PNNs have extremely high temperatures (T eff > 100,000 K), and are hydrogen-deficient with high abundances of C and O. Their spectra and pulsational properties are very similar to those of the pulsating GW Vir (PG 1159–035) white dwarfs.
