We also analyzed the Hubble Space Telescope Faint Object Spectrograph data in the 1200-6730Å wavelength range. The diagnostic results indicate the electron temperatures of Tε∼11000-14000K and the electron number densities of Nε∼2000-10500cm-3. In spite of high gaseous temperatures, we have not detected high excitation lines, e.g., HeII. We derived abundance based on the ionic concentration of permitted and forbidden lines and the photoionization model. A comparison of the ionic concentrations from forbidden lines to recombination lines shows the abundance discrepancy between them. We tested various possibilities, e.g., temperature fluctuation and high-density blob components, to explain the discrepancy. The high-density components or density fluctuation might be partly responsible for the discrepancy. DdDm 1 shows a low carbon abundance that corresponds to metal-poor stars, [Fe/H]≤-1. Assuming a distance of 10kpc to DdDm 1, theoretical models suggest that the central star has Teff∼39000K and L∼2000-3000L. The relatively high gas temperatures appear to be caused by very low heavy elemental abundances or insufficient coolants in the shell gas. Its progenitor, born in an extremely carbon-poor environment as an initial mass of about 0.9M, had probably experienced only the first dredge-up. Description: Our observations were made with High Dispersion Spectrograph (HDS), attached to one of the two Nasmyth foci of the Subaru 8.2m telescope atop Mauna Kea, Hawaii, on 2005 September 18. HST/Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) observations were obtained from 1995 Oct 9 archives. We obtained the spectra in the 3600-7500Å range from two settings: (1) setting #1-2 in 3600-5300Å with the blue cross disperser ; and (2) setting #3-4 in 4800-7500Å with the red cross disperser. Since both #1-2 and #3-4 settings overlapped in the 4800-5300Å, we would be able to scale two settings using the common spectra, such as Hβ, [OIII]4959/5007.
