Abstract
The nonradially pulsating GW Vir (a.k.a. DOV, or pulsating PG1159) stars and the K1-16 type variable stars provide an unparalleled opportunity to probe the internal structure of planetary nebula central stars and their immediate descendants, hot pre-white dwarfs. Recent global photometry campaigns have provided data of sufficient quality to severely constrain evolutionary models of these stars.
