Spectral Signatures of Kilohertz Quasi- Periodic Oscillations from Accreting Neu- Tron Stars
نویسنده
چکیده
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 observations to test for the existence of the marginally stable orbit, a key prediction of strong field general relativity, is described and observations of the neutron star x-ray binary 4U 1820-303 which suggest that the signature of the marginally stable orbit has been detected are presented.

Interpreting QPOs from Accreting Neutron Stars
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 unknown phenomenon prior to RXTE, kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) have now been detected from more than twenty systems. Their high frequencies (...
متن کاملMillisecond Phenomena in Accreting Neutron Stars – an Update
Since the initial discoveries with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in 1996 of kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) and burst oscillations in a number of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) containing low-magnetic-field neutron stars, a very active field has developed. I briefly summarize some of the developments since those early days, which include the discovery of the first acc...
متن کاملImplications of kHz Quasi–Periodic Brightness Oscillations in X–Ray Binaries for Neutron Star Structure
Kilohertz Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in low-mass X-ray binaries may represent the orbital frequencies of innermost Keplerian orbits around accreting neutron stars. With this assumption, attempts have recently been made to derive constraints on the mass of the neutron star and its equation of state. These estimates have so far relied on approximate treatment of rotation in general relativity. I...
متن کاملKilohertz Quasi-periodic Oscillations in Low-mass X-ray Binaries
In early 1996 a series of discoveries begun with NASA’s Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer of a new, up to then unknown astrophysical phenomenon. It turned out that accreting low magnetic-field neutron stars show quasi-periodic oscillations in their X-ray flux at rates of up to more than a kilohertz. These kHz QPO, now reported from eleven different systems, are among the fastest phenomena in the sky ...
متن کاملBound near-equatorial orbits around neutron stars
Recent discovery of kilohertz quasi-periodic brightness oscillations of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) has attracted attention to highly relativistic periodic motion near accreting neutron stars. Most models proposed so far involve (almost) inertial motion in the vicinity of the stars’ innermost stable circular orbits. In the present paper we study general-relativistic circular and eccentric o...
