The past decades have yielded a huge amount of information on the physics of X-ray binaries. The combination of X-ray variability measurements and spectroscopy, which has recently been supplemented with exciting X-ray polarization data, and multi-wavelength observations has allowed us to constrain the accretion flow physics and the phenomenological behavior of these sources. We have also been...

The current and planned scenario of the observational capabilities available to the X-ray scientific
community in the foreeseable future is far from ideal, with ambitious candidate X-ray missions recently not
selected for further developments both in Europe and the US. Yet, new ideas and developments are in place
from Europe to China to India and beyond, trying to design a better...
