We have discovered two simultaneous quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) at 898.3+/-3.3 Hz and 1158.6+/-9.0 Hz in the 1996 August 1 observation of the low-mass X-ray binary KS 1731-260 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The rms amplitude…

We detect millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations (mHz QPOs) using the Rossi X-ray Time Explorer (RXTE) from the atoll neutron-star (NS) low-mass X-ray binaries 4U 1608--52 and Aql X--1. From the analysis of all RXTE observations of 4U…

We report the X-ray timing results of the black hole candidate MAXI J1820+070 during its 2018 outburst using the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) and Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer Mission (NICER) observations. Low…

We investigated the quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) features in the accretion-powered X-ray pulsar Cen X-3 observed by Insight-HXMT. For two observations in 2020 when Cen X-3 was in an extremely soft state, the power density spectrum…

We present evidence for Quasi Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) in the recurrent outburst activity from SGR 1806-20 using Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations during November 1996. Searching for QPOs in a sample of 30 bursts at…

We report the discovery of twin kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the persistent X-ray flux of the new X-ray transient XTE J2123-058. We detected the QPOs in data taken with the proportional counter array on board the Rossi X-ray…

We report the discovery of X-ray quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) at frequencies of 3-4 mHz from a transient ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) X42.3+59 in M82. The QPOs are strong and broad and appear with weak or absent red noise, and are…

We report the discovery of a 1mHz optical quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in the candidate ultracompact low-mass X-ray binary 4U 0614+091. The ultra-low frequency QPO has no X-ray counterpart in contemporaneous RXTE/PCA data and is likely…

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…

We present new Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations of the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1608-52 during the decay of its 1998 outburst. We detect by a direct FFT method the existence of a second kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillation (kHz QPO)…

We study the timing properties of the low mass X-ray binary 4U 1728-34 using recently released data from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer. This binary, like many others with accreting neutron stars, is known to exhibit strong quasi-periodic…

We report the detection of high frequency variability in the black hole X-ray transient XTE J1650-500. A quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) was found at 250 Hz during a transition from the hard to the soft state. We also detected less…

We report on the X-ray spectral and timing behavior of the recurrent X-ray transient 4U 1630-47 for 51 RXTE observations made during the decay of its 1998 outburst. The observations began when the source was still relatively bright, and,…

We investigate the spectral and timing properties of the millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations (mHz QPOs) in neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636-53 using XMM-Newton and Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations. The mHz QPOs…
