... 2006 July 26 . Explosions from White Dwarf Star RS Oph . ... Every 20 years or so, the red giant star dumps enough hydrogen gas onto its companion white dwarf star to set off a brilliant thermonuclear explosion on the white dwarf 's surface. ... The red giant star is depicted on the right of the above drawing , while the white dwarf is at the center of the bright accretion disk on the left. As the stars orbit each other, a stream of gas moves from the giant star to the white dwarf. ...

This star is currently believed to host 3 giant planets having orbital periods about 4.6 days, 240 days и 1280 days [1]. ... Therefore, this seasonic periodicity is caused, most probably, by systematic errors. ... Taking into account the requirement of the dynamical stability of the system allows us to mark a few regions in the parameter space, where the orbit of the putative fourth planet (e) can be located. ...

... QSO spectra in the ROSAT band are steeper than the background at harder energies, and furthermore at fluxes below 1E-14 ergs/(s cmќ) the quasar source counts flatten off and are replaced by more numerous populations of relatively low red-shift objects, apparently Narrow Emission Line Galaxies (NELG). ... We extracted the luminosity function from ROSAT Deep Survey results, and extrapolated by a factor of 2 - 3 to account for changes expected in the harder XMM band. ...
