Abstract:
BVRIJHK photometric observations are presented for 27 post-AGB
candidates. Almost all objects show a double peaked spatial energy
distribution (SED) curve in the optical to far-infrared wavelengths.
Seventeen objects were classified as post-AGB stars on the basis of
their spectral type, location in the IRAS color-color diagram and SED.
The physical parameters of the observed post-AGB stars, the inner
radius of the detached shell, the mass of the shell and the distance
were derived using the simple dust shell model. We compared our
observational sequence of post-AGB objects to the theoretical
evolutionary sequence (Schoenberner, 1983ApJ...272..708S; Bloecker,
1995, Cat. <J/A+A/299/755>) in the stellar temperatures versus age
diagram. We found that two post-AGB stars, IRAS 05040+4820 and
08187-1905, have low stellar temperature with a large dynamical age of
the dust shell. They appear to provide the first observational
evidence that some low-mass stars bypass the planetary nebulae stage
because of their slow increase in stellar temperature.

Note (1): Erros of magnitude:
The errors of magnitude are +/-0.08mag for B,
+/-0.05mag for V, RC and IC,
+/-0.06mag for J,
+/-0.04mag for H,
+/-0.20mag for K.
On Oct. 19/1997, the errors of JHK are
+/-0.18mag, +/-0.12mag and +/-0.38mag, respectively.
On Feb. 26/1997 and Mar. 24/1997, they are
+/-0.15mag, +/-0.06mag and +/-0.20mag, respectively.
The errors were determined by the magnitude deviations of standard
stars.
The large errors of near infrared is due to bad sky conditions.
The large error in K band may be due to the thermal emission from
inside of Schmidt telescope.
