This diagram illustrates two block boxes, one above the other, with rectangular clipping regions of different dimensions. ... Both axes depict increments of 5px. The clipping region of the first P box lies entirely within it, offset 5px from the top and left edges of the P box, and 10px from the right and bottom edges. ... The clipping region of the second P box resembles that of the first in style and position, except that the right edge is 5px to the right of the P box's right edge. ...

... 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: . ...

. This quantity is the physical maximum velocity rotation corrected for inclination, expressed in km/s. It is deduced from the parameter vmaxg after correcting for inclination using incl . This rotation velocity is calculated from both the 21-cm line widths at different levels and/or the available rotation curves (generally H_alpha rotation curves). The rotation of the stellar component is given in the parameter vmaxs . HyperLeda . Questions: prugniel@obs.univ-lyon1.fr
