Matter orbiting a black hole or a neutron star in an accretion disk is expected to be relatively unaffected by the nature of the compact object down to a few Schwarzschild radii from the center. Therefore, it is expected that similar phenomena occurs in the process of accretion onto black holes and low magnetic field neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). However, much works have shown that in practice this is not always the case. In this talk I will summarize the intrinsic spectral and timing properties of accreting compact objects and how one can use them to identify the accretor as a black hole or as a neutron star.
