=== Be/X-ray binaries ===
[[Be/X-ray binary|Be/X-ray binaries]] (BeXRBs) are a class of high-mass X-ray binaries that consist of a [[Be star]] and a [[neutron star]]. The neutron star is usually in a wide highly elliptical orbit around the Be star. The Be [[stellar wind]] forms a disk confined to a plane often different from the orbital plane of the neutron star. When the neutron star passes through the Be disk, it accretes a large mass of hot gas in a short time. As the gas falls onto the neutron star, a bright flare in hard X-rays is seen.<ref>{{cite journal|bibcode=2011Ap&SS.332....1R|title=Be/X-ray binaries|journal=Astrophysics and Space Science|volume=332|pages=1–29|last1=Reig|first1=Pablo|year=2011|issue=1 |doi=10.1007/s10509-010-0575-8|arxiv=1101.5036}}</ref>
