Scientific paper

Observations of five Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) were performed with BeppoSAX in order to investigate emission processes in LMXBs in a wide X-ray energy range and understand the crucial spectral characteristics of compact stellar systems harbouring neutron stars. We find that two thermal components are present in the spectra of both faint and bright LMXBs and that the high energy spectra of the observed LMXBs are systematically softer than those of black hole candidates. We also detect an iron emission line around 6.5 keV in bright LMXBs. .
