Context. Post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) binaries are surrounded by massive disks
of gas and dust that are similar to the protoplanetary disks that are known to surround young …

Binary post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars are thought to be the products of a
strong but poorly understood interaction during the AGB phase. The aim of this contribution …

We investigate mass transfer and the formation of discs in binary systems using a
combination of numerical simulations and theory. We consider six models distinguished by …

We study a sample of single Galactic post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars with
known surface chemical composition. Gaia EDR3 and Gaia DR3 parallaxes have enabled …

Post-asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are exquisite probes of AGB nucleosynthesis.
However, the previous lack of accurate distances jeopardized comparison with theoretical …

Context. The late evolutionary phase of low-and intermediate-mass stars is strongly
constrained by their mass-loss rate, which is orders of magnitude higher than during the …

Many disc-type post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars are chemically peculiar,
showing underabundances of refractory elements in their photospheres that correlate with …

Context. Over the last few decades it has become more evident that binarity is a prevalent
phenomenon amongst RV Tauri stars with a disc. This study is a contribution to comprehend …

This paper presents the first census of Galactic post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB)
stars in the Hertzsprung–Russell (HR) diagram. We combined Gaia DR3 parallax-based …

We find the central stars (CSs) of the planetary nebulae (PNe) HaTr 7 and ESO 330-9 to be
close-binary systems. Both have orbital periods of less than half a day and contain an …
