The Accretion-Ejection Instability (AEI) has been proposed to explain the low frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (QPO) observed in low-mass X-Ray Binaries. Its frequency, typically a fraction of the Keplerian frequency at the disk inner…
Low Frequency QPOs (LFQPOs) have always been seen uniquely as a timing feature, with most models focused on reproducing only their timing behavior. Previously, the Accretion-Ejection Instability (AEI) predicted the existence of a more…
Low Frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillations or LF QPOs are ubiquitous in BH X-ray binaries and provide strong constraints on the accretion-ejection processes. Although several models have been proposed so far, none has been proven to…
We sum up progress accomplished, since the last microquasar workshop, on the physics of the Accretion-Ejection Instability (AEI), and its ability to explain the properties of the low-frequency QPO of microquasars. These results concern the…
The Accretion-Ejection Instability (AEI), which can occur in magnetized disks near equipartition, is a good candidate to explain the low-frequency QPO in black-hole binaries. Here we present analytical work concerning the behavior of QPO…
I present a global view of recent results on the Accretion-Ejection Instability (AEI), described in more details in other contributions to this workshop. These results address essentially the characteristics of the AEI as a good candidate…
The Accretion Ejection Instability (hereafter AEI), has been proposed to explain, the energy and angular momentum transport from the innermost parts of accretion disks in the X-Ray Binaries (XB), (permitting thus the accretion), toward a…
The Accretion-Ejection Instability has been proposed to explain the low frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (QPO) observed in low-mass X-Ray Binaries, in particular Black-Hole candidates. Its frequency, typically a fraction of the…
We report on RXTE observations of the microquasar XTE J1550 during a ~70 day outburst in April-June 2000. We focus here on the temporal properties of the source and study the behavior of low frequency (0.1-10 Hz) quasi periodic oscillations…
We follow the evolution of a low frequency QPO during the 2000 outburst of the microquasar XTE J1550-564, which was found to be present in the PCA energy range (2-65 keV) in 19 of 43 observations. The frequency of the QPO varies from 0.1 Hz…
It is widely believed that the low frequency quasi-periodic X-ray oscillations observed in microquasars are correlated to, but do not originate at, the physical radius of the inner edge of the accretion disk. Models relating the QPO…
Context. Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are a common feature of the power spectrums of X-ray binaries. Currently it is not possible to unambiguously differentiate the large number of proposed models to explain these phenomena through…
We present a possible explanation for the high-frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillations of microquasars by an MHD instability that combines the physics developed, in different contexts, for the Accretion-Ejection Instability, the Rossby-Wave…
Low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (LFQPOs) have been routinely observed in black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs). These LFQPOs can be explained by axisymmetric shock oscillation in accretion flow around a rotating black hole. We…
Low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (LFQPOs) are commonly found in black hole X-ray binaries, and their origin is still under debate. The properties of LFQPOs at high energies (above 30 keV) are closely related to the nature of the…
X-ray low frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (LFQPOs) of black hole X-ray binaries, especially those type-C LFQPOs, are representative timing signals of black hole low/hard state and intermediate state, which has been suspected as to…
We have studied the evolution of the Low Frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (LFQPOs) during the rising phase of seven outbursts of the neutron star Soft X-ray Transient (SXT) Aql X$-$1 observed with the \textit{Rossi X-ray Timing…
We report the discovery of a new class of low frequency quasi--periodic variations of the X-ray flux in the X-ray bursters 4U1608-52 and 4U1636-536. We also report an occasional detection of a similar QPO in Aql X-1. The QPOs, associated…
Based on the $Insight$-HXMT archival data, we have detected a new atypical low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillation (LFQPO) in the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1348$-$630. The new LFQPO is detected in all the three instruments of…
We present a systematic study of the orbital inclination effects on black-hole transients fast time-variability properties. We have considered all the black-hole binaries that have been densely monitored by the Rossi XTE satellite. We find…
