Binarity of the red-rectangle and other extremely fe-poor (post?)-AGB stars

We present radial velocity measurements proving the binary nature of all the known extremely Fe-deficient Post-ABG stars including HD 44179, the central star of the well known but poorly understood Red-Rectangle nebula. With the observed orbital parameters, it is more likely that the stars represent a particular stage in binary evolution, rather than a typical post-AGB evolutionary stage.
