... To avoid extensive numerical calculations in the statistical simulations, we treat the continuous evolution of each binary component as a sequence of a finite number of basic evolutionary states (for example, main sequence, red (super)giant, helium (Wolf-Rayet) star,     hot WD), in which stellar parameters significantly differ from each other. ... Figure 2: Schematic representation of the typical evolutionary track of a massive binary system with normal and compact star stages indicated. ...

... The continuum of the Orion Nebula's template contains the nebular contribution plus a combination of Kurucz model atmospheres to simulate the stellar contribution. The fluxes of the UV, optical and near-IR emission lines from different sources are also incorporated into the template (J.R. Walsh, private comm.) The continuum of the planetary nebula has a nebular component and a hot stellar component simulated by an 80000K black body. ...

Moscow, Russia E-mail: krivosheev@iki.rssi.ru Notes: · · The Monte Carlo method (s) is also called the statistical test method An innumerable number of processes can be listed the outcome of which is not determined and has probabilistic nature, but these processes obey statistical laws, so to obtain the result we have to make multiple similar tests, i.e. to use the MC method Because probabilistic processes are widely spread in nature, the MC ...

... The OM flatfield response is decomposed into two components, the small scale variation from subpixel to subpixel and the large scale variations with a scaling length above several CCD pixels. ... The large scale variations are mainly introduced by filter defects and contamination either on the filter or on the detector window. CAL_omLargeSenseVariation returns the flatfield component describing the large scale variations of the combination of detector plus specified filter. ...
