Abstract. In this paper I want to summarize our recent progress in the understanding of hot hydrogen deficient white dwarfs. I will concentrate on results based on HST spectroscopy which we used to better constrain the boundary of the GW Vir instability strip and to understand the transition from the PG 1159 stars to the DO white dwarfs. In this context I introduce my new self-consistent NLTE diffusion model atmospheres for white dwarfs.

Key words: PG 1159 stars, DO White Dwarfs, UV spectroscopy, Asteroseismology, Diffusion
