Oscillations of the Boundary Layer and High-frequency QPOs
We observed persistent high-frequency oscillations of the boundary layer near an accreting, weakly-magnetized star in global 3D MHD simulations. The tilted dipole magnetic field is not strong enough to open a gap between the star and the disk. Instead, it forms a highly-wrapped azimuthal field near the surface of the star which slows down rotation of the disk matter, while a small tilt of the f...
متن کاملResonant Excitation of Disk Oscillations in Deformed Disks II: A Model of High Frequency QPOs
The amplification of disk oscillations resulting from nonlinear resonant couplings between the oscillations and a disk deformation is examined. The disk is geometrically thin and general relativistic with a non-rotating central source. A Lagrangian formulation is adopted. The author examined the same problem a few years ago, but here we derive a general stability criterion in a more perspective...
متن کاملResonant Excitation of Disk Oscillations in Two-armed-Deformed Disks and Application to High-Frequency QPOs
In previous papers we showed that in a one-armed deformed disks, p-mode and g-mode oscillations are resonantly excited by horizontal resonance, and applied it to high frequency QPOs observed in low mass X-ray binaries. In that model, the observed time variation of kHz QPOs is regarded as a result of a time-dependent precession of the deformation. In this paper we consider another possible cause...
متن کاملHigh Frequency QPOs in Neutron Stars and Black Holes: Probing Dense Matter and Strong Gravitational Fields
Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) have been discovered in the X-ray emission of many neutron stars and black holes. The QPOs with frequencies ∼> 300 Hz are thought to be produced near the surfaces of neutron stars and the event horizons of black holes. I first summarize some of the most important properties of the QPOs seen in neutron star and black hole systems. I then review some of the mode...
متن کاملGlobal oscillations of a fluid torus as a modulation mechanism for black-hole high-frequency QPOs
We study strong-gravity effects on modulation of radiation emerging from accreting compact objects as a possible mechanism for flux modulation in QPOs. We construct a toy model of an oscillating torus in the slender approximation assuming thermal bremsstrahlung for the intrinsic emissivity of the medium and we compute observed (predicted) radiation signal including contribution of indirect (hig...
