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…

The origin of quasi periodic modulations of flux in the kilohertz range (kHz QPOs), observed in low-mass X-ray binaries, is usually assumed to be physically distinct from that of the ``normal branch oscillations'' (NBOs) in the Z-sources.…

Astronomy is presently experiencing profound growth in the deployment of machine learning to explore large datasets. However, transient quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) which appear in power density spectra of many X-ray binary system…

We have discovered two simultaneous kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the Z source GX 340+0 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The X-ray hardness-intensity and color-color diagram each show a full Z-track, with an extra limb…

Previous work on the sonic-point beat-frequency (SPBF) model of the kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed in the X-ray flux from neutron stars in low-mass binary systems has shown that it naturally explains many properties…

Twin quasi-periodic millisecond modulations of the X-ray flux (kHz QPOs) have recently been reported from an accreting 2.5 ms X-ray pulsar. We identify modes of disk oscillations whose frequencies are in agreement with the observed ones…

We show in this Letter that relativistic dragging of inertial frames around fast rotating collapsed stars is substantial and can give rise to observable effects. We apply this to the kHz quasi periodic oscillations (QPOs) sources, low mass…

We report the discovery of a new class of low frequency quasi--periodic variations of the X-ray flux in the X-ray bursters 4U1608-52 and 4U1636-536. We also report an occasional detection of a similar QPO in Aql X-1. The QPOs, associated…

The spin-up of a neutron star crucially depends on the maximum orbital frequency around it, as do a host of other high energy accretion phenomena in low mass X-ray binaries, including quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the X-ray flux. We…

Precise simultaneous measurements of the frequencies of the two kiloHertz quasi-periodic oscillations (referred in the literature as upper and lower kHz QPOs) cast doubts on the validity of the simple beat-frequency interpretation and some…

I study the behaviour of the maximum rms fractional amplitude, $r_{\rm max}$ and the maximum coherence, $Q_{\rm max}$, of the kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) in a dozen low-mass X-ray binaries. I find that: (i) The maximum…

We ascribe the twin kilohertz Quasi Periodic Oscillations (kHz QPOs) of X-ray spectra of Low Mass X-Ray Binaries (LMXBs) to the pseudo-Newtonian Keplerian frequency and the apogee and perigee precession frequency of the same matter in the…

Based on the interpretation of the twin kilohertz Quasi Periodic Oscillations (kHz QPOs) of X-ray spectra of Low Mass X-Ray Binaries (LMXBs) to the Keplerian and the periastron precession frequencies at the magnetosphere-disk of X-ray…

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 analysed {\it Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer} (RXTE) data of the low-mass X-ray binary and atoll source 4U 1608-52 obtained on March 3, 1996 in which the source simultaneously showed a strong single kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillation…

We explain the peak spacing in the power spectra of millisecond variability detected by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in the X-ray emission from the LMXBs (Sco X-1, 4U1728-34, 4U1608-522, 4U1636-536, etc) in terms of the rotational…

We report the discovery, with NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), of the first sub-millisecond oscillation found in a celestial X-ray source. The quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) come from Sco X-1 and have a frequency of…

We continue our earlier studies of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the power spectra of accreting, rapidly-rotating black holes that originate from the geometric "light echoes" of X-ray flares occurring within the black hole…

Twin-peak quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are observed in several low-mass X-ray binary systems containing neutron stars (NSs). Timing analysis of X-ray fluxes of more than dozen of such systems reveals remarkable correlations between…

High frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) from weakly magnetized neutron stars display rapid frequency variability and high coherence with quality factors up to at least 200 at frequencies around 850 Hz. Their parameters have been…
