... We address a question if globular clusters (GC) in a protogalaxy could for some time evolve chemically as isolated systems, enriching themselves with heavy elements produced in first supernova events that follow initial star formation. We determine both the critical mass of a protoglobular cluster that is needed to retain the ejecta of the very first supernova, and the critical energy (i.e., number of supernovae) that is needed to expel the residual gas from a cluster of a given mass. ...

... Determination of Black Hole Masses via Correlations between their X-Ray Spectral and Timing Properties " . ... This fact strongly support our theoretically motivated idea that low frequency QPO for a particular BH state is inversely proportional to BH mass.Based on our scaling technique, we determine BH masses in H1743-322, GX 339-4, XTE J1650-500, XTE J1859-226, 4U 1543-47, 4U 1630-47, using independently known masses of XTE J1550-564, GRO J1655-40 and GRS 1915+105 as references. ...

3) Planets and Brown Dwarfs . ... By its nature, this method is most sensitive to massive planets orbiting close to their stars. ... That means that some of the more massive extrasolar planets could actually be brown dwarfs (although the statistics of the finds suggest that most of them are not). ... Another possible difference between brown dwarfs and massive planets is how they are born. ... They would base the fundamental definition on the mode of formation: a planet is built from planetesimals. ...

... The nebular spectra of SNeIa can be used to determine the mass, density, and distribution of the SN ejecta, and the distance and reddening to the SN. Synthetic spectra can very rapidly be computed in NLTE and compared to the observed ones. Given the relatively large number of parameters, it is convenient to explore the parameter space in an automated form. The nebular spectrum synthesis code can be run in parallel on a workstation cluster. ...

The black hole. ... The black holes are generated in the result of a collapse of giant stars with the mass more than three Sun's masses. ... And moreover the gas near the neutron star or the black hole will get hot and will become a source of high energetic electromagnetic radiation in X-rays and gamma range. ... In the majority of double systems, being the sources of X-rays radiation, the invisible component mass does not exceed the two solar masses, so it is a neutron star. ...
