X-ray binaries – accreting neutron stars and black holes accreting white dwarfs with stable hydrogen fusion on the surface (super- and ultra-soft X-ray sources) various faint sources – CVs, active binaries, stars hot ISM
X-ray sources
Limitation
X-ray observations are limited to E>0.5 keV due to absorption by ISM in the Milky Way and in the target galaxy. The effect is more severe in star-forming galaxies and for sources with soft spectra (kT<0.2-0.3 keV).

X-ray binaries
accretion onto a black hole or a neutron star in a binary stellar system accretion disk (Shakura-Sunyaev theory), outflows, jets
