... 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: . ...

Fabry-Perot data cubes. Introduction: what is "data cubes"? Observations with the IFP consist of successive acquisition of a few dozen images of interference rings from the object (or from a calibration lamp) when changing the optical path between the flat-parallel plates. The radius of the rings is a function of wavelength and gap between the plates of the interferometer. ... Its interference rings of Ne line which use for phase calibration (convert object data to wavelength-scale). ...
