Scientific paper

X-ray observations of low mass X-ray binaries and black hole candidates are reviewed. In these sources, an accretion disk is considered to extend close to a neutron star or a black hole and to mainly govern the appearance of the X-ray emission. These sources show soft and hard spectral states, which possibly correspond to two interchangeable states of the inner part of the accretion disk. Similarities of active galactic nuclei to black hole candidates are discussed. X-ray observations of bright X-ray binaries in which an accretion disk is considered to extend close to the surface of the compact star are reported. Hereafter, X-ray binaries including a weakly magnetized neutron star are termed low mass X-ray binaries since they are the large majority of the bright low mass X-ray binaries.
