Quasi-periodic oscillations from Rossby Wave Instability

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2013-10-04 v1

Abstract

We study the Rossby wave instability model of high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) of microquasars. We show ray-traced light curves of QPO within this model and discuss perspectives of distinguishing alternative QPO models with the future Large Observatory For X-ray Timing (LOFT) observations.
