Post-AGB (pAGB) objects are low to intermediate initial mass (≤8 M&sun;) objects that have terminated normal nuclear burning and as a result are undergoing rapid evolution toward the white dwarf sequence. In classical pAGB objects evolution is to hotter effective temperatures at roughly constant luminosity. However, there are also several classes of pAGB objects that have revived nuclear burning after approaching or being on the white dwarf sequence. These include objects with delayed final helium shell flashes (e.g. Sakurai's star) and white dwarf mergers (e.g. R CrB stars). Binary evolution plays a critical role in many of these systems. A group of pAGB supergiants with large infrared excesses are suspected to be binaries that have undergone common envelope evolution. Further details on many of these objects can be found in reviews, see for instance Van Winckel (2003) and Herwig (2005).
