Abstract
Be X-ray binaries are among the best known transient high-energy sources. Their outbursts are commonly classified into a simple scheme of 'normal' and 'giant' outbursts, but a closer look shows that actual outbursts do not always follow this simple scheme. Recent data show a variety of properties, like pre-flares, shifts of the outburst peaks with respect to the periastron, multi-peaked outbursts etc. We present results from a systematic study of a large number of outbursts monitored by various space missions, comparing outburst properties and their relation to system parameters and current theoretical understanding.
