We have carried out a systematic study of the properties of the kilo-Hertz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) observed in the X-ray emission of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 4U1608-52, using archival data obtained with the Rossi…
We study in a systematic way the quality factor of the lower and upper kHz QPOs in a sample of low luminosity neutron star X-ray binaries, showing both QPOs varying over a wide frequency range. The sample includes 4U 1636-536, 4U 1608-522,…
We investigate the highest-frequency kHz QPOs previously detected with RXTE in six neutron star (NS) low mass X-ray binaries. We find that the highest-frequency kHz QPO detected in 4U 0614+09 has a 1267 Hz 3$\sigma$ confidence lower limit…
We have detected quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) near 1 kHz from the low mass X-ray binary 4U 0614+091 in observations with XTE. The observations span several months and sample the source over a large range of X-ray luminosity. In every…
Using all available archival data from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), we follow the frequency of the kilo-Hz QPOs in three low luminosity neutron star low mass X-ray binaries; namely 4U 1636-536, 4U 1608-522, and 4U1735-44.…
We report the detection of quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) at ~41 mHz in the transient high-mass Be/X-ray binary pulsar 4U~0115+634 using data from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observatory. The observations used in the present…
We study the correlations between timing and X-ray spectral properties in the low mass X-ray binary 4U 0614+09 using a large (265-ks) data set obtained with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. We find strong quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs)…
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 consider the interpretation of a pair of kHz Quasi Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) in the Fourier spectra of two Low Mass X-Ray Binaries, Sco X-1 and 4U1608-52, hosting an old accreting neutron star. The observed frequency difference of…
The high time resolution and large area of the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer have been essential in the detection and characterization of high-frequency quasi-periodic variability in the flux from neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries. An…
It has recently been suggested that the maximum observed quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) frequencies, $\nu_{max}$, for several low-mass X-ray binaries, particularly 4U 1820-30, correspond to the orbital frequency at the inner-most stable…
We detected millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in an XMM-Newton observation of the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636-53. These QPOs have been interpreted as marginally-stable burning on the neutron-star surface. At the…
This paper provides a review of the kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations in low-mass X-ray binaries recently discovered with NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. It contains two tables that are up to date up to October 1st, 1997 with…
We report the discovery ($20\sigma$) of kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) at ~ 690 Hz from the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary EXO 1745-248. We find that this is a lower kHz QPO, and systematically study the time…
We have analyzed seventeen observations of the low-mass X-ray binary and atoll source 4U 1728-34, carried out by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer in 1996 and 1997. We obtain precise measurements of the frequencies of the two simultaneous…
We present for the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636$-$53, and for the first time for any source of kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs), the two-dimensional behaviour of the fractional rms amplitude of the kHz QPOs in…
Pairs of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) at kilohertz frequencies are a common phenomenon in several neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries. The frequency separation of the QPO peaks in the pair appears to be constant in many sources and…
Recent observations of the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636-53 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer show, for the first time, a kiloHertz quasi-periodic oscillation (kHz QPO) peak separation that exceeds the neutron star spin frequency as…
Kilo-Hertz (kHz) Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) have been discovered in the X-ray fluxes of 8 low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The characteristics of these QPOs are remarkably similar from one…
In observations with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer we have discovered quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) near 1 kHz from 4U 1705-44, a low--mass X-ray binary with a neutron star classified as an atoll source. In six separate observations,…
