Abstract

We performed a study of the X-ray binary population in the Milky Way. The results of this study, spatial distribution and in particular luminosity function, can be used for comparison with the X-ray binary populations of other galaxies. In the second part we give an example by investigating the connection between the star formation rate and the high mass X-ray binary population in galaxies observed by CHANDRA.
