Black holes are the most compact objects in the Universe. According to general relativity, black holes have a horizon that hides a singularity where Einstein's theory breaks down. Recently, gravitational waves opened the possibility to…
Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), in particular, the ones with high frequencies, often observed in the power spectrum of black holes, are useful in understanding the nature of strong gravity since they are associated with the motion of…
We propose a unified model to explain Quasi-Periodic-Oscillation (QPO), particularly of high frequency, observed from black hole and neutron star systems globally. We consider accreting systems to be damped harmonic oscillators exhibiting…

Origin of wide varieties of quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) observed in compact sources is still not well established. Its frequencies range from mHz to kHz spanning all compact objects. Are different QPOs, with different frequencies,…

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…

Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) are very puzzling since they remain totally unexplained by popular earlier models of accretion disks. The significant rms value in power density spectrum implies that the oscillation involves in the…

The twin-peak high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HF QPOs), observed in the power spectra of low-mass X-ray binaries, might carry relevant clues about the physics laws reigning close to a compact object. Their frequencies are…
Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are very common in black hole accretion systems that are seen from the modulations in luminosity. Many supermassive black hole sources (e.g., RE J1034+396, 1H~0707-495, MCG-6-30-15, 1ES~1927+654,…

We report the discovery with XMM-Newton of an approximately 7 mHz X-ray (0.3-10.0 keV) quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) from the eclipsing, high-inclination black hole binary IC 10 X-1. The QPO is significant at > 4.33 sigma confidence…
