In the early 1980s, our understanding of binary star evolution љ based on the pioneer work by Paczynski (1971)[ 150 ], Tutukov and Yungelson (1973)[ 195 ], van den Heuvel and Heise (1972)[ 201 ], allowed us to construct a general evolutionary scenario љ which successfully explained the genesis of well-studied normal stars and offered potential explanation for new X-ray sources discovered in space experiments. ...

... The SN 1998bv discovered on April 6, 1998 in the blue compact galaxy HS 1035+4758 is the second supernova observed in a low-mass galaxy with intense SF burst. ... According to its characteristic spectrum, SN 1998bv is a type II supernova with estimated peak absolute brightness M 16.3. The very slow fading of its brightness suggests that the SN was discovered at the Plateau phase, 20-30 days after the peak of the light curve. The most probable classification of SN 1998bv is regular SN II-P. 3. ...
