Planetary nebulae are the remnants of low-to-middle mass stars. ... These so-called post-AGB stars are in an intermediate stage of evolution between the AGB and planetary nebulae. ... By studying the post-AGB stars we may be able to determine what causes the complicated structures seen in some planetary nebulae. To investigate this question, we have selected a well-defined sample of 86 post-AGB stars from a previous study of OH 1612-MHz maser sources in the Galactic plane (Sevenster et al., ...
