We discovered kHz QPOs in 80 archived RXTE observations from the peculiar low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) Circinus X-1. In 11 cases these appear in pairs in the frequency range of ~230 Hz to ~500 Hz for the upper kHz QPO and ~56 Hz to ~225 Hz…
Rapidly rotating newborn magnetars, which originate from binary neutron star (NS) mergers and serve as the central engines of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), may leave some imprints on their prompt gamma-ray light curves even though they are…
We present a dimensional analysis of two characteristic time scales in the boundary layer where the disk adjusts to the rotating neutron star (NS). The boundary layer is treated as a transition region between the NS surface and the first…
The discovery of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in magnetar giant flares has opened up prospects for neutron star asteroseismology. However, with only three giant flares ever recorded, and only two with data of sufficient quality to…
Observations of thermonuclear (Type I) X-ray bursts from neutron stars in low mass X-ray binaries (LMXB) with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) have revealed large amplitude, high coherence X-ray brightness oscillations with…
Black-hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) in the hard and hard-intermediate spectral (and temporal) states exhibit in their power spectra characteristic frequencies called type-C quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). Various models that can explain…
X-ray observations suggest that neutron stars in low mass X-ray binaries (LMXB) are rotating with frequencies from 300 - 600 Hz. These spin rates are significantly less than the break-up rates for essentially all realistic neutron star…
We consider the situation where a spin-induced wavy perturbation is present on disks of neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries. By non-linearly coupling with the perturbation, some modes of disk oscillations resonantly interact with the…
We performed a systematic investigation of millihertz quasiperiodic oscillations (mHz QPOs) in the low-mass X-ray binary GS 1826$-$238 observed with {\it NICER} and {\it Insight}-HXMT. We discovered 37 time intervals exhibiting mHz QPOs out…
Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) detected in the 2004 giant flare from SGR 1806-20 are often interpreted as global magneto-elastic oscillations of the neutron star. There is, however, a large discrepancy between theoretical models, which…
Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed in a giant flare of a strongly magnetized neutron star (magnetar), are carrying crucial information for extracting the neutron star properties. The aim of the study is to constrain the mass and…
We report on the numerical discovery of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) associated with accretion through a non-axisymmetric magnetic boundary layer in the unstable regime, when two ordered equatorial streams form and rotate…
Correlations discovered between millisecond timing properties and spectral properties in neutron star x-ray binaries are described and then interpreted in relation to accretion flows in the systems. Use of joint timing and spectral…
It is suggested that the accretion disk excites the eigen modes of Alfven oscillations of the magnetic field tubes the ends of which are frozen to the neutron star surface. The resonance takes place when the eigen Alfven frequency coincides…
Resonant oscillations in warped disks are examined in order to explain high-frequency QPOs and horizontal-branch QPOs in low-mass X-ray binaries. Different from our previous work, addressed to the same subjects, we relax in this paper the…
I review the rotation measurements of accreting neutron stars. Many of the highly magnetic accreting X-ray pulsars have been continuously observed with the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) aboard the Compton Gamma-Ray…
An analytic model of rotating hot spot is proposed to explain kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPO) in X-ray binaries, which is based on the magnetic coupling (MC) of a rotating black hole (BH) with its surrounding accretion disc.…
We establish a unified model to explain Quasi-Periodic-Oscillation (QPO) observed from black hole and neutron star systems globally. This is based on the accreting systems thought to be damped harmonic oscillators with higher order…
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 an analysis of the energy and frequency dependence of the Fourier time lags of the hectoHertz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) and of the QPOs at the frequency at which the power density spectrum shows a break in the…
