Three distinctly different types of outburst phenomenon in X-ray binaries are discussed: (1) the so-called type 1 burst which is a thermonuclear flash of matter accreted on the surface of neutron stars, (2) the so-called type 2 burst which is a burst-like X-ray emission caused by a spasmodic accretion, and (3) the nova-like outburst which is triggered by a sudden commencement of accretion.
