We have investigated the X-ray timing properties of XTE J1550-564 during 60 RXTE PCA observations made between 1998 September 18 and November 28. We detect quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) near 185 Hz during four time intervals. The QPO…

We have detected large-amplitude 0.3-1.2 mHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) from the low-mass X-ray binary pulsar 4U 1626-67/KZ TrA, using UV photometry from HST and ground-based optical photometry. These 1 mHz QPOs, which have…
