Scientific paper
Results obtained with the hard X-ray detector aboard Ariel 5 are reviewed. Various theoretical expectations for the form of X-ray source spectra are discussed. Results are examined for specific binary pulsars, sources with aperiodic fluctuations and power-law spectra, Sco X-1 type objects, white-dwarf X-ray emitters, COS-B sources, and X-ray bursters. The objects are classified according to the probable X-ray emission mechanism near the X-ray star or on the basis of the presence of a stellar wind or the mass-transfer mechanism involving Roche-lobe overflow.
