... 25 июля 2000 . ... Почему звезды мерцают . ... Как можно видеть невооруженным глазом , звезды находятся так далеко, что видны нам, как бесконечно малые точки. Однако земная атмосфера неоднородна и различные части воздуха делают различные изображения единичной точечноподобной звезды. Так как атмосфера всегда меняется и перемещается , то число и положение изображений также всегда изменяется и в результате звезда кажется мерцающей . ... А. Сергеев , оформление, 1999, 2000. ...

... For the past years I have been working on the problem of synthesis of light curves of close binary systems, consisting of a normal star and a compact object (point object with fixed X-ray luminosity). ... Possible existence of a bright spot on the disk's lateral surface is taken into account. ...
