Low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (LFQPOs) are commonly observed in X-ray light curves of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs); however, their origin remains a topic of debate. In order to thoroughly investigate variations in spectral…

We studied the low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (LFQPOs) in the black hole GRO J1655-40 during the 2005 outburst, using data from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. All LFQPOs could be identified as either type B or type C using…

In recent observations with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer we have detected two simultaneous quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) peaks in the low mass X-ray binary and atoll source 4U 1735-44. The lower and higher frequency QPOs have…

Based on the $Insight$-HXMT archival data, we have detected a new atypical low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillation (LFQPO) in the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1348$-$630. The new LFQPO is detected in all the three instruments of…
