... 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. ...

RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBERS Description of Data from SGD Explanation of Data Reports: Relative Sunspot Numbers -- The relative sunspot number is an index of the activity of the entire visible disk of the Sun. ...

Waldmeier of the Swiss Federal Observatory. ... This indicates the uncertainty above and below the predicted number. ...
