Detecting X-ray QPOs in Active Galaxies

Astrophysics 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

Since EXOSAT produced the first good quality X-ray light curves of Seyfert galaxies there have been several claims of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). None of these have withstood repeated analyses and observations. We review some problems concerning the detection of QPOs.
