... In order to compare the number of different evolutionary stages obtained and X-ray luminosity of the chosen X-ray sources with the observed galactic values we use the sum of C/O+O/C , where C and O are the calculated and observed values of a given binary type, respectively. If we make comparison for a number of different binary species (for example, we compare the number of CV, number of X-ray pulsars,   total X-ray luminosity of LMXB, etc.), we write this criterion in the form: . ...

This directory contains prototypes for scripts that may be called by the camera driver. ... The script set_camera_filter should take a filter number as an argument and send a command to a filter wheel. The SBIG filter wheel is supported internally and does not use this script. If you have another filter wheel, then a script such as this would allow you to use XmCCD to control the filter wheel. ...
