Predicting spin of compact objects from their QPOs: A global QPO model
نویسنده
چکیده
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 nonlinearity. The model explains multiple properties parallelly independent of the nature of the compact object. It describes QPOs successfully for several compact sources. Based on it, we predict the spin frequency of the neutron star Sco X-1 and the specific angular momentum of black holes GRO J1655-40, GRS 1915+105.

Discovery of the upper kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillation from the X-ray transient Aql X-1
We report on a comprehensive analysis of the kilohertz (≥600 Hz) quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) detected from the neutron star X-ray transient Aquila X-1 (Aql X-1) with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, between 1997 and 2007. Among kHz QPO sources, Aql X-1 is peculiar because so far only 1-kHz QPO has been reported, whereas in most sources, 2-kHz QPOs are usually detected (a lower and an...
متن کاملHigher Order Nonlinearity in Accretion Disks: Qpos of Black Hole and Neutron Star Sources and Their Spin
We propose a unified model to explain Quasi-Periodic-Oscillation (QPO), particularly of high frequency, observed from black hole and neutron star systems globally. We consider accreting systems to be damped harmonic oscillators exhibiting epicyclic oscillations with higher order nonlinear resonance to explain QPO. The resonance is expected to be driven by the disturbance from the compact object...

We report on a comprehensive analysis of the kilo-Hz (> 600 Hz) quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) detected from the neutron star X-ray transient Aquila X-1 (Aql X-1) with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, between 1997 and 2007. Among kHz QPO sources, Aql X-1 is peculiar because so far only one kHz QPO has been reported, whereas in most sources, two kHz QPOs are usually detected (a lower and...
متن کاملA Model for Twin Kilohertz Quasi-periodic Oscillations in Neutron Star Low-mass X-ray Binaries
We suggest a plausible interpretation for the twin kiloHertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries. We identify the upper kHz QPO frequencies to be the rotational frequency and the lower kHz QPOs the standing kink modes of loop oscillations at the inner edge of the accretion disk, respectively. Taking into account the interaction between the neutron star...
متن کاملKilohertz QPOs, the marginally stable orbit, and the mass of the central sources – a maximum likelihood test
Kilohertz quasi perodic oscillations (QPOs) have been detected in more than a dozen LMXBs. We show that the observations are consistent with the assumption that the maximum-frequency QPOs occur in the innermost (marginally) stable orbit allowed by general relativity. On this assumption, taking the masses of the compact objects to be randomly distributed in some interval, we use the maximum like...
