Table 3: Characteristics of our program stars and their nebulae. The last column gives the references for stellar parameters and PN shape. The main-sequence (MS) mass is inferred from Weidemann's (2000) initial-final mass relation. The MS radius is estimated using Allen (1976). The future white dwarf (WD) radius is estimated from the mass-radius relation of Wood (1994). EGB 5 is not on a post-AGB evolutionary track as a result of close-binary evolution (Karl et al. 2003).
