Post-Asymptotic Giant Branch (post-AGB) stars bear signatures of the entire chemical and morphological changes that occur prior to and during the AGB phase of evolution. ... In this talk, I will present two important outcomes of this survey. Firstly, this survey resulted in a well characterised sample of binary and single post-AGB stars. ... However, some objects show peculiar chemical signatures which do not correspond to the accepted single/binary star evolution and nucleosynthesis. ...

Abstract -- The strengths of magnetic fields in interstellar gas clouds are obtained through observations of the circular polarization of spectral line radiation. ... To infer information about these irregularities from the observational data, we develop statistical relationships between the rms values of the irregular component of the magnetic field and spatial variations in the circular polarization of the spectral line radiation. ...

... This review presents the results of Scenario Machine computations aimed at the population synthesis of different types of binary stars in our Galaxy and another galaxies. They demonstrate the ability of this method to make an important gross analysis of the modern scenarios for binary evolution, as well as to give interesting qualitative and quantitative predictions which can be checked observationally. ... The future development of the method can be considered from two different points of view. ...

... Clustering of AGN and QSOs at z=1 . Using galaxies from the DEEP2 Redshift Survey and AGN from the AEGIS/Chandra survey and QSOs from SDSS, I present the cross-correlation function of AGN/QSOs and 'normal' galaxies at z=1. Using the known clustering of DEEP2 galaxies, this leads to an estimate of the bias and typical host dark matter halo mass of AGN/QSOs as a function of X-ray luminosity, which constrains AGN formation models. oral . ...
