The first two pulsating central stars of planetary nebulae to be discovered were those of K 1–16 (Grauer & Bond 1984) and Lo 4 (Bond & Meakes 1990). They are nonradial, multiperiodic g-mode pulsators, with typical periods near 25–31 min. They are O VI nuclei or related objects, with extremely high temperatures (T eff ≳ 100,000 K), hydrogen deficiency, and high abundances of C and O.
