Embargoed until 11am, Thursday 6th May SOME BLACK HOLES ARE PINK A group of Australian astronomers have found that some black holes are bright pink! ... They have such intense gravity fields that they even suck in light. ... Black holes like this are called quasars, and were first discovered in the 1960s."Until now", Dr Francis said, "only blue quasars had been seen, and it was believed that the debris swirling around black holes should emit only blue light, not pink." ...

... There are several explanations for these X--ray quiet PMS stars. To examine the explanations, it is proper to divide the PMS stars into three groups: those bluer than R - I = 0.7, those redder than the X--ray sources (R - I > 1.25) and those with colors similar to the X--ray sources. ... A total of 26 of the non--X--ray detected PMS candidates had spectra taken. ... Between V=14 and V=16, I find 25 stars which are X--ray sources and estimate 19 non--X--ray PMS stars. ...

... To avoid extensive numerical calculations in the statistical simulations, we treat the continuous evolution of each binary component as a sequence of a finite number of basic evolutionary states (for example, main sequence, red (super)giant, helium (Wolf-Rayet) star,     hot WD), in which stellar parameters significantly differ from each other. ...
