Title:The BeXRB outburst zoo
Abstract:Be X-ray binary outbursts do not always follow a 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. In this presentation I intend to give an overview of the variety of observed behaviours based mainly on the large data sets available from monitoring instruments, without trying to discuss the detailed behaviour of individual sources.
