Scientific paper

A computer program called a 'scenario machine' has been devised for studying aspects of X-ray binary evolution. The program uses the known facts about stellar evolution and well-known rules of thumb for the outcome of certain events. Starting with the masses of two main sequence stars and an orbital period along with the fractional mass and angular momentum losses as initial parameters, the machine computes the fate of the system. This fate is governed by the normal signal-star evolution of the two components, which is, however, interrupted by such events as mass exchange and the supernova explosion of one of the components.
