Özet

I will review the class of accreting powered neutron stars that are in close binary systems. I will summarize the recent developments and the main properties of the neutron stars. These include the formation of X-ray spectra, formation of pulse profiles, quasi periodic oscillations, pulse frequency fluctuations, long term variations and orbital period decay of X-ray binaries.
