How the rings were formed. ... Because of the velocity of mutual collisions increases at the approaching to the planet, there is a region near an every planet where the particles reaching the definite sizes begin to pull due to the mutual collisions. ...

... We assume that an instantaneous starburst occured in the region of the Galactic center, with half of the stars (in number) being formed in binaries. The total mass of the stars formed during the starburst was taken to be , as indicated by the Tamblyn & Rieke (1993) analysis. ... In fact, the number of stars in IRS 16 estimated by Tamblyn & Rieke (1993) is uncertain within a factor of 2, but this is actually of no importance as long as we only use relative numbers of different X-ray source species. ...
