Abstract
Extensive Montecarlo simulations of Post-Asymptotic Giant Branch (P-AGB) populations have been constructed, exploring the effects of various assumptions on synthetic H-R diagrams, luminosity functions, and inferred mass distributions. Such assumptions include the IMF, the initial mass-final mass relation, the AGB to PN transition time, the duration of the planetary nebula (PN) stage, etc. We have also investigated how the observational errors in luminosity and temperature propagate into the inferred mass distribution of the P-AGB stars.
