  9. Theory and Observations Theoretical predictions made in these works were nicely confirmed by further X-ray observations

  10. UHURU Era 1971 – 1972 R.Giaccony ~100 X-ray binary systems

  11. First optical identifications of X-ray binaries, investigations of optical appearances of X-ray binaries 1972 – 1973 L.Webster, P.Murdin (1972) – mass function for Cyg X-1, fv(m)=0.25 N.E.Kurochkin (1972), Her X-1=HZ Her A.M.Cherepashchuk, Yu.N.Efremov, N.E.Kurochkin, R.A.Sunyaev (1972); J.Bahcall, N.Bahcall (1972) – discovery of strong X-ray heating effect in the system HZ Her=Her X-1

  12. V.M.Luytyi, R.A.Sunyaev, A.M.Cherepashchuk (1973, 1974) discovery of ellipticity effect of the optical star in Cyg X-1, estimation of an inclination of the orbital plane and the mass of BH: mx>5.6

  13. X-ray Binaries Up to now ~1000 X-ray binaries have been discovered by instruments aboard many special X-ray observatories, among them Russian MIR-KVANT and GRANAT (R.A.Sunyaev) Several X-ray and Gamma-ray observatories are operating now : CHANDRA, XMM-Newton, INTEGRAL

  14. Stellar Mass BHs About 20 stellar mass BH in X-ray binary systems, as well as several hundreds of supermassive BH in galactic nuclei, have been discovered up to now New branch of astrophysics, Black Hole Demography, developed

  15. Masses of BH and NS in Binary Systems Mass function of an optical star and are masses of a relativistic object and an optical star, respectively.

  16. is an observed value, parameters q, i should be determined from additional observational data: • Light curve:

  17. Rotational broadening of absorption lines in the spectrum of an optical star:

  18. If distance d is known is known too:

  19. If i is close to 90o: −duration of an X-ray eclipse.

  20. Persistent X-ray binaries (Cyg X-1, LMC X-3, etc.), transient X-ray binaries, X-ray novae (V404 Cyg, XN Mus, etc.) Masses of ~20 stellar mass BH in X-ray binaries have been determined; See, e.g., reviews by P.Charles (1998),T.Shahbaz (1999), J.A.Orosz (2003), A.M.Cherepashchuk (2003).

  21. Constraints on the radii from rapid X-ray variability and high frequency QPO (41 ÷ 450 Hz). See, e.g. recent reviews by McClintockand R.E.Remillard (2003).

  26. Fig.5. Observed distribution of masses of BH and NS versus mass distribution of of WR stars. Open squares correspond to the single mBH obtained from gravitational microlensing effects

  27. In contrast with distribution, mBH and mNS distributions are bimodal: there is a gap in the range (2-4) . Possible explanations of this gap: • Soft equation of state for NS matter and the magneto-rotational mechanism for supernova explosion (K.A.Postnov,M.E.Prokhorov, 2001; G.S.Bisnovatyi-Kogan, 1971)

  28. Postulation of a step function for the supernova explosion energy dependence on the progenitor’s mass (C.L.Fryer, V.Kalogera, 2001); • Enhanced quantum evaporation of BH in some models of multidimension gravity (L.Randall, R.Sundrum, 1999; T.Tanaka, 2003; K.A.Postnov, A.M.Cherepashchuk, 2004)

  29. Non-standard methods of mBH determination Determination of inclination i of theorbital plane from the radial velocity curve: • E.A.Antokhina and A.M.Cherepashchuk, 1997, 2005 • T.Shahbaz, 1998 • M.Abubekerov et al., 2004
