Mass determination

Mass determination here mx, mv - masses of a compact object and
a normal (in solar units), Kv – observed semi-amplitude of the line of sight velocity of
the normal star (in km/s), P – orbital period (in days),
e – orbital eccentricity, i – orbital inclination (the angle between the line of sight and the normal to the orbital plane). As one can see, the mass function of the normal star is the absolute lower limit for the mass of the compact object. The mass of the compact object can be calculated as:

So, to derive the mass of the compact object in addition to the line of sight velocity
it is necessary to know independently two more parameters:
the mass ratio q=mx/mv, and the orbital inclination i.

Systems BH + radio pulsar: a Holy Grail

The discovery of a BH

Systems BH + radio pulsar: a Holy Grail The discovery of a
in pair with a radio pulsar can provide
the most direct proof of the very existence of BHs.
Especially, it would be great to find a system with a millisecond pulsar observed close to the orbital plane.
Computer models provide different estimates of the abundance of such systems.

Lipunov et al (1994) give an estimate about one system (with a PSR of any type) per 1000 isolated PSRs.
Pfahl et al. (astro-ph/0502122) give much lower estimate for systems BH+mPSR: about 0.1-1% of the number of binary NSs.
This is understandable, as a BH should be born by the secondary (i.e. initially less massive) component of a binary system.

States (luminosity+spectrum+jet) astro-ph/0306213 McClintock, Remillard Black holes on binary systems Now there
several classifications of states of BH binaries.

The understading that BH binaries can pass through different “states” (characterized by luminosity, spectrum, and other features, like radio emission) appeared in 1972 when Cyg X-1 suddenly showed a drop in soft X-ray flux,
rise in hard X-ray flux, and the radio source was turned on.

QPO

BH candidates demonstrate two main types of QPOs:
Low-frequency (0.1-30 Hz) and high-frequency

QPO BH candidates demonstrate two main types of QPOs: Low-frequency (0.1-30 Hz)
(40-450 Hz).
Low-frequency QPOs are found in 14 out of 18 objects.
They are observed during different states of sources.
Probably, in different states different mechanisms of QPO are working.
High-frequency QPOs are known in a smaller number of sources (7).
It is supposed that frequencies of these QPOs correspond to the ISCO.

Ultraluminous X-ray sources ULXs are sources with fluxes which correspond to an
than the Eddington limit for a 10 solar mass object.
Now many sources of this type are known. Their nature is unclear. Probably, the population contains both: stellar mass BHs with anisotropic emission and intermediate mass BHs.

Pluses (+) mark sources with luminosities >5 1038 erg/s.
The size of one square element of the grid is 1.2 arcminute
(except IZW 18, in which case the size is 0.24 arcminute in right ascension and 0.18 in declination).
Galaxies NGC 4636, NGC 1132, NGC 4697, NGC 1399 are ellipticals,
IZW 18 – irregular, the rest are spiral galaxies.
Ellipses mark the 25-th magnitude isophotes (this a typical way to mark the size of a galaxy).
