Scientific paper
The current status of optical identifications of compact galactic X-ray sources is reviewed, with particular emphasis on the large group with 2-10 keV luminosities in the 10 to the 36th-10 to the 38th erg/sec range. Of the approximately 35 members of this class, a very large majority fall into one of two subclasses: intrinsically faint, ultraviolet-excess objects similar to Scorpius X-1, and luminous OB stars with weak emission features. Even diverse sources such as bursters, transients, and slow pulsars obey this bifurcation, and it is argued that all of these objects, and also quite possibly the globular cluster sources, are probably extremely similar in their basic nature.
