This thesis deals with the hot subluminous stars of spectral class O (sdO). Stars of this type are evolved helium burning stars on the extended horizontal branch, which have lost their hydrogen envelope. The mechanism of this loss is still not understood completely. Two scenarios are under discussion: In the first scenario, two low mass white dwarfs in short period orbits lose orbital energy by radiation of gravitational waves. As their orbit shrinks, the less massive one will fill its Roche lobe and get disrupted and accreted on the companion. Unfortunately no detailed calculations of the explosive nucleosynthesis exist for this scenario. The late hot flashers are stars that do not experience the helium core flash until they leave their re...
