Two classes of globular cluster X-ray sources are known. Each consists of compact objects accreting material from a close binary companion. The brighter class has a neutron star primary, and the low luminosity class has a white dwarf primary. These sources formed by tidal capture of the compact object by a main sequence dwarf in the core of the globular cluster. Their presence and number has implications on the end points of stellar evolution in globular clusters and on the formation of binaries in cluster cores.
