A simulation of the interaction of dust and gas in the vicinity of a star with CQ Tau parameters was carried out assuming the existence of a companion in an orbit with a period of 10 years. It was shown that an M-type star in a highly elongated orbit is capable of forming a region of reduced density around the center of mass of the system, with a size close to the one observed. However, the dust ring-like structure in this case is located noticeably closer to the star than observed.

The criteria for the implementation of quasi-spherical accretion in the system, the formation of a Keplerian accretion disk and a non-Keplerian magnetically arrested disk (MAD-accretion scenario) are formulated. It is shown that the period of the equilibrium rotation of a neutron star in the MAD-accretion scenario, in addition to the parameters of the binary system, is also determined by the velocity, temperature, and degree of magnetization of the stellar wind of its massive companion. Within the hypothesis of the equilibrium rotation, we have estimated the parameters of the stellar wind for the most fully-studied quasi-equilibrium accreting pulsars in the HMXBs corresponding to the criteria for the MAD-accretion scenario implementation. We show that the period of the equilibrium rotation of a neutron star in the system, all other things being equal, increases with the growth of the magnetization degree of the stellar wind component of its massive companion flowing out in the plane of the system’s orbit.

Six of its SF regions are located in or near the so-called ‘‘Northern Ring’’, in which the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images reveal many luminous young stars. We present for these SF regions (Knots) the results of optical monitoring in 35 epochs during the years 2016–2023. The data was acquired with the 6-m (BTA) and 1-m telescopes of the Special Astrophysical Observatory, and the 2.5-m telescope of the MSU Caucasian Mountain Observatory. We complement the above results with the archival data from 10 other telescopes for 11 epochs during the years 1988–2013 and with three our BTA observations between 2005 and 2015. Our goal is to search for variability of these Knots and to relate it to the probable light variations of their brightest stars. One of them, DDO 68-V1 (in Knot 3), was identified in 2008 with a luminous blue variable (LBV) star born in the lowest metallicity environments.
