Abstract

The lifetime of massive X-ray binaries is ∼(2–5)×105 yr, this time close to the nuclear one. The lifetime of nonmassive X-ray binaries close to thermal one, ∼(0.5–1)×107 yr. Massive systems may be conserved at supernova explosion, the probability of the conservation of nonmassive system is ∼(1–3)×10−3.
