A remarkable correlation between the centroid frequencies of quasi periodic oscillations, QPOs, (or peaked noise components) from low mass X-ray binaries, has been recently discovered by Psaltis, Belloni and van der Klis (1999). This…
We present a variability study of the black hole candidate and X-ray transient H1743-322 during its 2003/2004 outburst. We analyzed five Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations that were performed as part of a multi-wavelength campaign, as…
The strong gravitational field of neutron stars in the brany universe could be described by spherically symmetric solutions with a metric in the exterior to the brany stars being of the Reissner-Nordstrom type containing a brany tidal…
We have investigated properties of the Quasi Periodic Oscillation (QPO) features in the accretion powered X-ray pulsar Cen X-3 over a period of about four years using observations carried out with the Proportional Counter Array (PCA) of the…
We present the results of timing analysis of the low-frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (QPO) in the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer data of the black hole binary XTE J1550--564 during its 1998 outburst. The QPO frequency is observed to vary…
We present a detailed study of the 5 Hz quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) recently discovered in the bright X-ray transient and black-hole candidate GRS 1739-278 (Borozdin & Trudolyubov 2000) during a Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observation…
The relativistic precession model for quasi periodic oscillations, QPOs, in low mass X-ray binaries is reviewed. The behaviour of three simultaneous types of QPOs is well matched in terms of the fundamental frequencies for geodesic motion…
The combined analysis of polarized DIS and SIDIS data is performed in NLO QCD. The new parametrization on polarized PDFs is constructed. The uncertainties on PDFs and their first moments are estimated applying the modified Hessian method.…
We analyze the time variability of the X-ray emission of RE J1034+396, an active galactic nucleus with the first firm detection of a quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO). Based on the results of a wavelet analysis, we find a drift in the QPO…
We report on the detection of an ~5900 s quasi-periodic variation in the extensive photometry of TX Col spanning 12 years. We discuss five different models to explain this period. We favour a mechanism where the quasi-periodic variation…
Gravitomagnetic precession near neutron stars and black holes has received much recent attention, particularly as a possible explanation of 15--60 Hz quasi-periodic brightness oscillations (QPOs) from accreting neutron stars in low-mass…
The Seyfert 1 galaxy J1626+5120 is estimated to host a $10^8 M_{\odot}$ black hole (BH) accreting at Eddington ratio $\dot{m}_{\text{Edd}} \approx 0.043$. Its long-term multi-band light curve data show flicker-like variations, but in a…
The higher twist corrections $h^N(x)/Q^2$ to the spin dependent proton and neutron $g_1$ structure functions are extracted from the world data on $g_1(x,Q^2)$ in a model independent way and found to be non-negligible. Their role in…
We withdraw our claim that a component in an XMM-Newton satellite light curve of the BL Lacertae object S5 0716 + 714 shows quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of $\sim$30 minutes. Although both our original periodogram and wavelet analyses…
Perturbative relations between pole and running heavy quark masses, defined in the Minkowski regions, are considered. Special attention is paid to the appearance of the kinematic $\pi^2$-effects, which exist in the coefficients of these…
Fast time variability is the most prominent characteristic of accreting systems and the presence of quasi periodic oscillations (QPOs) is a constant in all accreting systems, from cataclysmic variables to AGNs, passing through black hole…
In the Galactic microquasars with double peak kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), the ratio of the two frequencies is 3:2. This supports the suggestion that double peak kHz QPOs are due to a non-linear resonance between two modes of…
Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) discovered in soft-gamma repeaters (SGRs) are expected to help us to study the properties of matter in neutron stars. In earlier investigations, we identified the QPOs of frequencies below $\sim100$ Hz…
We discuss further observational support of an idea formulated a decade ago by Abramowicz, Klu{\'z}niak, McClintock and Remillard. They demonstrated that the 3:2 pairs of frequencies of the twin-peak black hole (BH) high-frequency…
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…
