Abstract
We use "Scenario Machine" -- the population synthesis simulator -- to calculate the evolution of populations of selected types of X-ray sources after a starformation burst with the total mass in binaries (1--1.5) \cdot 10^6 M_{\odot}duringthefirst20Myrafteraburst.Wepresentheretheresultsoftwosetsofrunsoftheprogram.Inthefirstsetweexaminedthefollowingtypesofclosebinaries:transientsources−−neutronstarswithBe−stars;‘‘X−raypulsars′′−−neutronstarsinpairswithsupergiants;CygX−1−likesources−−blackholeswithsupergiants;‘‘SS443−likesources′′−−superaccretingblackholes.Weusedtwovaluesoftheexponent\alphaintheinitialmassfunction:2.35(Salpeter′sfunction)and1(‘‘flatspectrum′′).Thecalculationsweremadeforthefolowingvaluesoftheupperlimitofthemassfunction:120and30M_{\odot}.Forthe‘‘flatspectrum′′,suggestedin(Continietal,1995),thenumberofsourcesofalltypessignificantlyincreased.Withthe‘‘flatspectrum′′andwiththeuppermasslimit120M_{\odot}weobtainedhundredsofsourcesofallcalculatedtypes.Decreasingoftheuppermasslimitbelowthecriticalmassofablackholeformationincreasethenumberoftransientsourceswithneutronstarsupto\approx 300.Inthesecondsetweexaminedtheevolutionofof12othertypesofX−raysourcesfor\alpha=1,\alpha=1.35and\alpha=2.35andforthreeuppermasslimits:120M_{\odot},60M_{\odot},40M_{\odot}$ (see Perez-Olia & Colina 1995 for the reasons for such upper limits) on the same time scale 20 Myr after a star formation burst.
