Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae

Abstract In this brief invited review, I will attempt to summarise some of the key areas of interest in the study of central stars of planetary nebulae which (probably) will not be covered by other speakers’ proceedings. The main focus will, inevitably, be on the subject of multiplicity, with special emphasis on recent results regarding triple central star systems as well as wide binaries which avoid a common-envelope phase. Furthermore, in light of the upcoming release of Kepler’s Campaign 11 data, I will discuss a few of the prospects from that data including the unique possibility to detect merger products.

摘要在此简短的邀请评论中，我将尝试总结一下行星星云中心恒星的一些关键领域，这些领域（可能）不会被其他说话者的诉讼所涵盖。关于多重性的主题，鉴于即将发布的Kepler的广告系列11数据，避免了共同阶段的最新结果以及避免使用共同阶段的广泛二进制文件。该数据的前景包括检测合并产品的独特可能性。
