Abstract:
Based  on  optical  echelle  spectra  we  have  determined the  main parameters,  the atmospheric  chemical abundances and the evolutionary status of a sample of peculiar supergiants associated with infrared sources. In the spectra of some post--AGB objects we have revealed strong emission C_2 Swan bands and absorption features at the positions of well-known DIBs. An analysis of radial-velocities and intensities led us to the conclusion that these spectral features originate predominantly in the expanding circumstellar envelopes.
