Abstract. We present preliminary results of an ongoing spectral analysis of K648, the central star of the planetary nebula Ps 1, based on high resolution FUV spectra. K648, in M15 is one of only four known PNe in globular clusters. The formation of this post-AGB object in a globular cluster is still unclear. Our aim is to determine T_eff, log g, and the abundances of trace elements, in order to improve our understanding of post-AGB evolution of extremely metal-poor stars, especially PN formation in globular clusters. We analyzed FUSE, HST/STIS, and HST/FOS observations. A grid of stellar model atmospheres was calculated using the Tübingen NLTEModel Atmosphere Package (TMAP).
