contents Relativistic accretors are cosmic objects that pull matter from their surroundings at speeds almost equal to the light's speed. Because of the tremendous gravitational force from the accretors and the angular momentum of infalling material, which often result in discs of gas and dust that are heated to extremely high temperatures. We encounter strong radiation throughout the electromagnetic spectrum, including intense X-rays. The X-ray view provides a unique window into the behavior of accretors. In this review, we discuss different accretors, particularly binaries, and their origin, involved mechanisms, and properties, including energy spectra and the variability of X-rays from the accretors. This X-ray perspective gives a unique insight into the evolution and connections of these systems with their environment. Future research in this area is necessary to fully understand the process underlying X-ray emission from relativistic accretors.
