Abstract

I review some recent developments in the field of X-ray pulsars: the discovery of millisecond pulsations in the Low Mass Binary System SAX J1808.4-3658, the large number of transient Be systems discovered in the Magellanic Clouds and the enigmatic class of objects known as Anomalous X-ray Pulsars.
