We present the discovery of a low-frequency $\approx 5.7$ Hz quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) feature in observations of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1535-571 in its soft-intermediate state, obtained in September-October 2017 by the…

In X-ray observations of hard state black hole X-ray binaries, rapid variations in accretion disc and coronal power-law emission are correlated and show Fourier-frequency-dependent time lags. On short (~0.1 s) time-scales, these lags are…

Based on abundant data from Insight-HXMT, we conducted a detailed analysis of type-C quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1348-630. Type-C QPOs were intensively detected over a broad energy band, with…
