Scientific paper

We used Quasi Periodic Oscillation - Spectral Index scaling method to measure masses for several galactic black hole sources. The most interesting result is obtained for XTE J1650-500 which show a mass of 3.8 solar masses with the error of 0.5. This value is in perfect agreement with dynamical measurements from optical lightcurves. The QPO-index scaling for this source is confirned by two X-ray telescopes: RXTE and BeppoSAX.
