Description

The study of X-ray binaries in the outbursting phase is crucial to understand the accretion process and the underlying physics. Every outburst is different regarding energy budget and the observed spectral-timing properties. In this presentation, I will summarise the lesson learned from the study of these systems. Also, I will discuss
some of the key issues in this topic based on our recent studies.
