... In order to compare the number of different evolutionary stages obtained and X-ray luminosity of the chosen X-ray sources with the observed galactic values we use the sum of C/O+O/C , where C and O are the calculated and observed values of a given binary type, respectively. If we make comparison for a number of different binary species (for example, we compare the number of CV, number of X-ray pulsars,   total X-ray luminosity of LMXB, etc.), we write this criterion in the form: . ...

... XRB SEDs | ... By using RXTE to determine the spectral state of a system we intend to generate SEDs using data that may have been taken at different times but were taken at similar X-ray states. Due to its all-sky coverage and long operational time, the RXTE/ASM instrument provides unparalled information on the spectral states: an ideal jumping-off point for studying time-dependent properties of X-ray binaries. ... Blue arrows designate X-ray observation times. ...

... He made observations of a supernova (literally: nova= "new star") in 1572 (we now know that a supernova is an exploding star, not a new star). ... Brahe's meticulous observations showed that the supernova did not change positions with respect to the other stars (no parallax). ... This was early evidence against the immutable nature of the heavens, although Brahe did not interpret the absence of parallax for stars correctly, as we discuss below. Brahe made careful observations of a comet in 1577. ...
