Scientific paper

Supergiant wind-fed X-ray binaries and Be-systems occupy different regions in the P_spin-P_orbit diagram (known as the Corbet diagram). The previous attempts to explain this diagram were not fully satisfactory. We propose a new explanation for the observed dependences which takes into account the fact that the accretting matter in such systems has smaller angular momentum than the Keplerian one. We review properties of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients recently discovered with INTEGRAL and note that their location in the Corbet diagram can be a key to understanding of the accretion mechanism responsible for their outbursts.
