An X-ray burster is a type of astronomical object that exhibits sudden and intense bursts of X-ray radiation. These bursts are primarily associated with binary star systems where a compact object, such as a neutron star, is accreting matter from a companion star. In these systems, the gravitational pull of the neutron star draws material from its companion, which leads to the accumulation of hydrogen and helium on the neutron star's surface.
