Abstract:
    With the ongoing AKARI infrared sky survey, of much greater
    sensitivity than IRAS, a wealth of post-AGB objects may be discovered.
    It is thus time to organize our present knowledge of known post-AGB
    stars in the galaxy with a view to using it to search for new post-AGB
    objects among AKARI sources.
    We searched the literature available on the NASA Astrophysics Data
    System up to 1 October 2006, and defined criteria for classifying
    sources into three categories: very likely, possible and disqualified
    post-AGB objects. The category of very likely post-AGB objects is made
    up of several classes.
    We have created an evolutionary, on-line catalogue of Galactic
    post-AGB objects, to be referred to as the Torun catalogue of Galactic
    post-AGB and related objects. The present version of the catalogue
    contains 326 very likely, 107 possible and 64 disqualified objects.
    For the very likely post-AGB objects, the catalogue gives the
    available optical and infrared photometry, infrared spectroscopy and
    spectral types, and links to finding charts and bibliography.
