abstract
Preliminary results from an ongoing project to compute a grid of post-AGB models is presented. Our preliminary results show that stellar evolution computations that include an updated treatment of the microphysics predict post-AGB timescales that are several times shorter that predicted by older models. Also the mass-luminosity relation of post-AGB models deviates from that of older grids. In addition, our results suggest only a slight metallicity dependence of the post-AGB timescales. We expect these results to have significant consequences for models of the formation of planetary nebulae and their luminosity function.

MUSE observations of Tc 1 map structured extinction, Te, and Ne, revealing a low-extinction annulus outside the main fullerene zone that is interpreted as evidence for locally altered dust properties in the core-halo transition.
Observations of Raman-scattered He II lines in RR Telescopii reveal distinct velocities tracing different H I depths and temporal declines in conversion efficiency, implying the neutral region needs complex radiative transfer models beyond a single column density.
Review of UV spectroscopy applications to hot evolved stars, emphasizing HST contributions and the need for continued observations ahead of HWO.
