Post-Asymptotic Giant Branch (post-AGB) stars bear signatures of the entire chemical and morphological changes that occur prior to and during the AGB phase of evolution. ... In this talk, I will present two important outcomes of this survey. Firstly, this survey resulted in a well characterised sample of binary and single post-AGB stars. ... However, some objects show peculiar chemical signatures which do not correspond to the accepted single/binary star evolution and nucleosynthesis. ...

Kajsin 4 Received 2003 October 23; accepted 2004 June 9 ABSTRACT We present surface photometry results for a sample of 11 edge-on galaxies observed with the 6 m telescope at the Special Astrophysical Observatory, Russia. ... We find from a comparison of photometric scales that the stellar disks of LSB galaxies are thinner than those of high surface brightness ( HSB) galaxies. ... UGC 11301 .. ...
