Abstract

A review of some properties of X-ray binaries is presented. The review is concentrated mainly on low mass binaries. Their secular evolution, X-ray spectra and variability are discussed. Black-hole candidates, models of "dippers" and soft X-ray transients are presented and compared with observations.
