Abstract
In this Contribution we describe the five lectures that we have given in Erice. Since we have worked on these topics for many years in close collaboration , we decided to combine our contributions in one paper. Lecture #1 (by JvP) was on the galactic population of X-ray binaries, lecture #2 (by JvP) was a brief review on X-ray bursts, lecture #3 (by WHGL) was on the mass-radius relations of neutron stars, lecture #4 (by WHGL) was on the Rapid Burster, and lecture #5 (by JvP) was a brief review of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) in the X-ray flux of X-ray binaries.
