Description
Preliminary results of new high-resolution and S/N ratio spectra of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPN) are presented. The atmospheric parameters (Teff, log g, helium abundance) are derived using NLTE techniques. The results obtained confirm the conclusions of Mendez et al. (1988): (1) the distance scale of CSPN is greater than usually assumed; (2) as a consequence the luminosities of the CSPN agree with the predictions of evolutionary tracks, and (3) for a given temperature, the CSPN with strong winds are more massive than the others.

    The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) is a proposed space mission that enables the spectral characterization of the thermal emission of exoplanets in the solar neighborhood. The mission is designed to search for global atmospheric biosignatures on dozens of temperate terrestrial exoplanets and it will naturally investigate the diversity of
