A review of the great variety of observed properties of X-ray burst sources is presented, including the MXB 1730-355, called the rapid burster. Hypotheses regarding the sources of bursts are discussed, and two models for the rapid burster are described. The first postulates that they are caused by a collapsed object with a mass of approximately 10 solar masses surrounded by a disk of gas spiralling inward. The second posits a neutron star with a strong magnetic field. Theoretical questions regarding the mass of neutron stars are discussed, and prerequisites for such research are identified. Various research projects investigating these questions are described.
