Next: Binary Radiopulsars with Black Up: Black Holes in Binaries Previous: Black Holes in Binaries . Two different types of stellar BH formation exist: (1) direct core collapse   of a massive star and (2) AIC of a NS. A BH of the first type presumably will have a mass comparable to that of the collapsing star and can be born both from a single star and in a binary system. ...

home publications > mercury . ... Rings of Creation . ... In 1755, Immanuel Kant had the remarkable insight that stars and planetary systems form by the gravitational collapse and rotational flattening of interstellar clouds. Later in the 18th century, Marquis Pierre Simon de Laplace refined Kant s idea by suggesting that planets condensed from rings produced at the edge of a contracting disk while the Sun formed at the center a picture thereafter known as the Nebular Hypothesis. ...

The compression of the cloud of gas in star forming . ... These data have allowed us to create the dynamic model of the cloud of gas, around this object. ... The results on H2CO absorption lines (figure 1) have shown, that the central part of the cloud represents a clumped envelope of diameter 9 pc with radial velocity 20 km/s. The relation of radial velosity of absorption line and the whole object have allowed simple to define the direction of radial movement - itis compression. ...
