Abstract

Binary post-AGBs

In recent years, it became clear that among post-AGB candidate stars, binarity is a widespread phenomenon. These binary post-AGB stars have distinct characteristics which include a broad IR excess, often starting at H or K, pointing to the presence of both hot and cool dust in a disc geometry around the central object, which is typically of spectral type F or G. There is also growing observational evidence that the dusty discs are remarkable stable: mixed chemistry is often observed, showing that the formation of the O-rich disc antedated the more recent C-rich transition of the central object. Kinematical information of several objects by CO detections, confirms the presence of a Keplerian circumbinary disc. Also the dust grain evolution in those discs is rather different than in outflows with typically a higher crystallisation fraction. Several objects show evidence for large grains and even macroscopic structures were detected. Coagulation seems to be very efficient: the dustprocessing seems to be very similar as in the protoplanetary discs around young stellar objects. Although the observational evidence for the presence of a circumbinary disc is well established, its actual structure but also its formation, stability and evolution remain largely unknown. Moreover, the disc may have important dynamical interaction with the binary itself: it may pump up the orbital excentricity which would explain the remarkable high eccentricities observed.
