Abstract
We present the masses of central stars of 44 planetary nebulae (PN), obtained from measured [OIII] expansion velocities and derived from the dynamical ages. The stellar core mass distribution is narrow, peaking at 0.61 M⊙. We discuss the correlations between central stars of PN (CSPN) masses and other stellar and nebular parameters.
