Description
The investigation of post-AGB objects (proto-planetary nebulae) is very
important from the standpoint of physical and chemical changes occurring
during the late stages of stellar evolution. The Toruń catalogue
of Galactic post-AGB and related objects is an evolutive catalogue
containing astrometric, photometric and spectroscopic data as well as
HST images for all known post-AGB objects and candidates in our Galaxy.
This free-access catalogue can serve as an ideal tool to study different
groups of post-AGB objects, especially due to the fact that all
information is gathered in one place. The second release of our
catalogue introduces a simple classification scheme of post-AGB objects
and includes a significant number of new objects, photometric data,
spectra and images. Here, using objects from the catalogue we consider
the problem of the termination of the AGB phase.
