摘要
I review the energy spectra of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) containing weakly magnetized accreting neutron stars (NS), emphasizing the most recent broad band (0.1-200 keV) spectral and timing observations performed by Beppo-SAX and RXTE. Drawing on the similarities between black hole candidate (BHC) and NS accretion, I discuss the accretion geometry and emission processes of NS LMXBs. (C) 2001 COSPAR.
