Explanation of the Origin of Ultraluminous X-Ray Sources
Using optical spectroscopy, we revealed the origin of unusual objects: ultraluminous X-ray
sources in other galaxies, which radiate in the X-ray range thousands times stronger than the
black holes in our Galaxy. It turned out that these objects are supercritical accretion disks in
binary systems with black holes, similar to the supercritical accretor in our Galaxy, SS433, being
at the short-term stage of supercritical accretion.

Detection of Considerable Lack of Massive Dwarf Galaxies in the
Local Volume compared to the Standard Cosmology
The sample of about 750 galaxies in the Local Volume (distance smaller
than 10 Mpc) gives a
unique opportunity to study the properties of galaxies including the
faintest objects: the absolute magnitude MB≈-10
and the virial mass Mvir≈109M☼.
We have found that the standard ΛCDM model accurately describes
the distribution function of galactic circular velocities for massive
objects (Vcirc≥70 km/s and
Mvir≥5x1010M☼),
but five times overestimates the number of dwarf
galaxies with circular velocities Vcirc~30-40 km/s. Such a considerable overabundance of
predicted large dwarf galaxies with masses
Mvir≈1010M☼
in the field causes a complicated
problem: to turn out to be lost, these galaxies should be of extremely low surface brightness,
with no star formation processes and neutral hydrogen. Up to the present moment, there has been
no such a galaxy detected.

Detection of Radio Transients and Variable Radio Sources using the Archive
Data of the Cold Surveys
Analyzing the data of four observational periods of the RATAN-600 Cold surveys in 1980-1994
with the calibration curves plotted using the sample of non-variable sources with steep spectra,
we detected 73 sources (Slim>20 mJy) with considerable variations of flux density, which are
variable according to different statistical criteria, moreover, the variability for 52 of them was
determined for the first time; 3 radio transients were also discovered as well as 22 radio sources
(4%) not previously mentioned in the RCR catalog. The inference was drawn on the possible use
of the observations conducted on RATAN-600 in the survey mode in order to search for faint
variable sources and transients and also to study them in detail provided that synchronous
multifrequency data is used.
