We explain the peak spacing in the power spectra of millisecond variability detected by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in the X-ray emission from the LMXBs (Sco X-1, 4U1728-34, 4U1608-522, 4U1636-536, etc) in terms of the rotational…
Using two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations, we investigate the stability of shocked accretion flows around black holes under non-axisymmetric perturbations. By systematically exploring the parameter space of specific energy and angular…
BeppoSAX observed GRS 1915+105 on October 2000 with a long pointing lasting about ten days. During this observation, the source was mainly in the rho class characterized by bursts with a recurrence time of between 40 and 100 s. We identify…
We have investigated the Quasi Periodic Oscillation (QPO) properties of the transient accreting X-ray pulsar XTE J1858+034 during the second outburst of this source in April-May 2004. We have used observations made with the Proportional…
Quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) has been detected in several accreting supermassive black hole (SMBH) systems, including active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and tidal disruption events (TDEs). However, despite that several models have been…
We have carried out a systematic study of the properties of the kilo-Hertz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) observed in the X-ray emission of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 4U1608-52, using archival data obtained with the Rossi…
We analysed RXTE data of Sco X-1 which show kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) and the $\sim$6--8 Hz normal-branch oscillation (NBO) simultaneously. Using power spectra of 0.03--0.5 s data segments, we find that both the upper kHz QPO…
Characterising the fast variability in black-hole low-mass X-ray binaries (BHXBs) can help us understand the geometrical and physical nature of the innermost regions of these sources. Particularly, type-B quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs),…
We consider the interpretation of a pair of kHz Quasi Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) in the Fourier spectra of two Low Mass X-Ray Binaries, Sco X-1 and 4U1608-52, hosting an old accreting neutron star. The observed frequency difference of…
In the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 766, a Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (QPO) signal with a period of $\sim6450$ s is detected in the \emph{XMM-Newton} data collected on 2005 May 31. This QPO signal is highly statistical significant at…
We present a comprehensive temporal and spectral analysis of the 'softer' variability classes ($i.e.$, $\theta$, $\beta$, $\delta$, $\rho$, $\kappa$, $\omega$ and $\gamma$) of the source GRS 1915+105 observed by AstroSat during $2016-2021$…
This study aims to detect and characterize quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) signals in X-ray observations of NGC 4151. We employed the Weighted Wavelet Z-transform (WWZ) and Lomb-Scargle periodogram (LSP) methods for our analysis. QPO…
We present evidence for Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) in the recurrent outburst emission from the soft gamma repeater SGR 1806-20 using NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations. By searching a sample of 30 bursts for…
We have proposed in previous papers that the high-frequency pair QPOs observed in black-hole binaries with frequency ratio 3:2 are inertial-acoustic oscillations (nearly horizontal oscillations with no node in the vertical direction) or…
We have used Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer data to measure the lags between soft (2-5 keV) and hard (5-13 keV) photons and to study the aperiodic variability of the superluminal black hole candidate GRS 1915+105 during low-flux states. The…
