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…

We report the results of a comprehensive analysis of the multiwavelength (in optical and X-rays) and multitimescale (from months to tenths of a second) variability of the 2018-2020 outburst of the black hole transient MAXI J1820+070. During…

We found a possible ~ 1 hour quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in a ~ 55 ks X-ray observation of the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG--06--30--15 made with the XMM-Newton EPIC/pn detector in the energy range 0.3 -- 10 keV. We identify a…

We report the discovery of Quasi Periodic Oscillations (QPO) at 0.02 Hz in a transient high mass X-ray binary pulsar KS 1947+300 using {\em RXTE}-PCA. The QPOs were detected during May-June 2001, at the end of a long outburst. This is the…

Before the launch of the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) it was recognized that neutron star accretion disks could extend inward to very near the neutron star surface, and thus be governed by millisecond timescales. Previous missions…

Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are observed in the hard state of many black hole X-ray binaries. Although their origin is unknown, they are strongly associated with the corona, of which the geometry is also subject to discussion. We…

We consider the inner regions of accretion disks surrounding black holes and neutron stars and investigate the nonlinear time dependent evolution of thermal-viscous instabilities. The viscous stress is assumed to be proportional to the gas…

Twin quasi-periodic millisecond modulations of the X-ray flux (kHz QPOs) have recently been reported from an accreting 2.5 ms X-ray pulsar. We identify modes of disk oscillations whose frequencies are in agreement with the observed ones…

In this work, we report for the first time two repeated quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the light curve of the Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar (FSRQ) S5 1044+71. This source was observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)…

Quasi-periodic oscillations and X-ray spectroscopy are powerful probes of black hole masses and accretion disks, and here we apply these diagnostics to an ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) in the spiral galaxy NGC628 (M74). This object was…

We have discovered two simultaneous kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the Z source GX 340+0 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The X-ray hardness-intensity and color-color diagram each show a full Z-track, with an extra limb…

Study of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) in blazars is one of the crucial methods for gaining insights into the workings of the central engines of active galactic nuclei. QPOs with various characteristic time scales have been observed in…

In order to search for the evidence of quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in blazar, multicolor optical observations of the BL Lacertae object S5 0716+714 were performed from 2005 to 2012. For $I$ band on March 19 2010 with low variability…

We discover a definite correlation between the frequency of the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) in quiescence states and the duration of the quiescence state of the transient X-ray source GRS 1915+105. We find that while the QPO frequency…

Strong, coherent, quasi-periodic brightness oscillations (QPOs) with frequencies ranging from about 300 Hz to 1200 Hz have been discovered with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer in the X-ray emission from some fifteen neutron stars in…

Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) have been discovered in the X-ray emission of many neutron stars and black holes. The QPOs with frequencies greater than about 300 Hz are thought to be produced near the surfaces of neutron stars and the…

Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) detected in the 2004 giant flare from SGR 1806-20 are often interpreted as global magneto-elastic oscillations of the neutron star. There is, however, a large discrepancy between theoretical models, which…

We report the discovery with XMM-Newton of quasiperiodic variability in the 0.2 - 10 keV X-ray flux from the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5408 X-1. The average power spectrum of all EPIC-pn data reveals a strong 20 mHz QPO with an average…

Variability is a typical observation feature of Fermi blazars, sometimes it shows quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO). In this work, we obtained 5-day binned light curves (with a time coverage of $\sim$ 12.9 yr) for S5 1044+71 based on Fermi…

We investigate marginally stable nuclear burning on the surface of accreting neutron stars as an explanation for the mHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed from three low mass X-ray binaries. At the boundary between unstable and…
