We explain the millisecond variability detected by Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in the X-ray emission from a number of low mass X-ray binary systems (Sco X-1, 4U1728-34, 4U1608-522, 4U1636-536, 4U0614+091, 4U1735-44, 4U1820-30, GX5-1…

We show in this Letter that relativistic dragging of inertial frames around fast rotating collapsed stars is substantial and can give rise to observable effects. We apply this to the kHz quasi periodic oscillations (QPOs) sources, low mass…
