In this paper, we study the motion of test particles around two exact charged black-hole solutions in Einstein-{\AE}ther theory. Specifically, we first consider the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) and their resonances generated by the…

Accreting neutron stars and black holes share a number of rapid variability characteristics, such as quasi-periodic oscillations and broad-band noise. The frequencies of these features were recently shown to be comparable to fundamental…

According to various models, the orbital and the epicyclic frequencies of particles moving on a circular orbit around compact objects are related to the quasi-periodic oscillations observed in the X-ray flux of some pulsars or black hole…

Black hole and neutron star X-ray binary systems routinely show quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in their X-ray flux. Despite being strong, easily measurable signals, their physical origin has long remained elusive. However, recent…

We show that the low frequency QPO seen in the power density spectra of black hole binaries (and neutron stars) can be explained by Lense-Thirring precession. This has been proposed many times in the past, and simple, single radius models…

Kilohertz-scale quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) are a distinct feature of the variability of neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries. Among all the variability modes, they are especially interesting as a probe for the innermost parts of…

In the resonance model, high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are supposed to be a consequence of nonlinear resonance between modes of oscillations occurring within the innermost parts of an accretion disk. Several models with a…

We discuss three modes of oscillation of accretion disks around rotating magnetized neutron stars which may explain the separations of the kilo-Hertz quasi periodic oscillations (QPO) seen in low mass X-ray binaries. The existence of these…

Non-linear acoustic coupling of modes in accretion disks allows a parametric resonance between epicyclic motions. In black hole disks, such a resonance first occurs, and is strongest, when the radial and vertical epicyclic frequencies are…
