Abstract

The Torun catalogue of Galactic post-AGB and related objects was created to facilitate the research on the late evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars. The main reason for this upgrade of the catalogue was introducing a new classification scheme of post-AGB objects. We have also classified the spectral energy distributions of the post-AGB stars and their HST images. We have given on-line access to optical spectra for 124 likely and possible objects, to all the available HST images of post-AGB objects (about 100), as well as to long-term photometric data for 12 carbon-rich post-AGB objects.

The second edition of the catalogue contains more than 300 likely (including 112 RV Tau stars), and more than 80 possible post-AGB objects. During the talk I will review present features of the catalogue.
