    Description: The modern scenario of evolution of massive binary systems predicts the existence of a subclass of binary radio pulsars (PSRs) with black holes (BHs). Their Galactic number was evaluated as approximately 1 per 1000 single pulsars (Lipunov et al. 1994b). Distinctive properties of such binaries would be (1) mass of the unseen companion M(sub c) greater than 3-4 solar mass and (2) absence of eclipses of the pulsar radiation with no distinctive variance of the dispersion measure along the pulsar orbit. The pulsars themselves must be similar to standard isolated ones. The recently discovered binary 1 s pulsar PSR B0042-73 = PSR J0045-7319 in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) with a massive companion in a highly elongated (eccentricity e =0.8) 51 day orbit (Kaspi et al. 1994) may be the first such pulsar with a BH. The paradoxical fact that the first pulsar discovered in the SMC proved to be in a binary system can be naturally understood if its companion actually is a 10-30 solar mass black hole. We illustrate this fact by the numerical calculation of evolution of radio pulsars after a star formation burst.

    Description: The 110-millisecond pulsar PSR 2127+12 in the core of the globular cluster M15 is distinguished by having a negative period derivative P approximately equals -2 x 10(exp -17). This value cannot be provided by acceleration in the mean gravitational potential of the core. A flyby of a star approximately equal to 300 AU away could explain the P observed, but the probability of such an event is small, approximately equal to 10(exp -13). We suggest that the pulsar motion is governed by the presence of a moderately massive (approximately equals 2 divided by 3 x 10(exp 4) solar mass) black hole in the clusters center. The idea is further supported by an observed post-collapse morphology of the M15 core.

    Description: Evidence for neutron star free precession is discussed, which is often presumed to be responsible for the observed 35-day cycle in Hercules X-1. The precise formula for the period derivative due to free precession is obtained under assumption that the precession period is much longer than that of the neutron star rotation. The optical light curves to be seen from the binary, with freely precessing accretion neutron star are simulated numerically. This simulation takes into account the reflection effect on the surface of the secondary component and on the accretion disk itself for different diagrams of x-ray emission.

    Description: The evolution is discussed of gravitational waves spectra produced by binary stars, supernova explosions, and coalescences of binary compact stars in outer galaxies. These spectra are integrated over a simple model of the universe to give an estimate of the stochastic gravitational wave background due to astrophysical sources.
