Description

There is by now a ''standard'' model for x-ray sources comprising a binary system containing a compact star and powered by mass accretion. It can be argued that the majority and perhaps all the galactic x-ray sources are of this kind. Three kinds of sources are discussed which may be qualitatively different from these; namely, low luminosity sources such as 3U0352 + 30 (= chi Perseus.), the sources associated with the globular clusters, and the transient x-ray sources
