... The numbers of three types of compact binaries containing accreting NSs and BHs, which are most interesting from the point of view of their observational appearances, have been calculated as a function of time: i) X-ray transient source containing a NS in an eccentric orbit around a main sequence Be-star (the observed prototype: A0535+26), ii) BH The evolution of the selected types of X-ray binaries during the first 10 million years after the starburst onset is presented in Fig. ...

A magnetar called SGR 0418+5729 (SGR 0418) has been shown to have the lowest surface magnetic field ever found for this type of neutron star. Magnetars have surface magnetic fields that are usually ten to a thousand times stronger than SGR 0418's. Data from Chandra, XMM-Newton, Swift, and RXTE was used to measure the surface magnetic field. ...
