Evidence for a QPO structure in the TeV and X-ray light curve

چکیده
The BL Lac Object Mkn 501 was in a state of high activity in the TeV range in 1997. During this time Mkn 501 was observed by all Cherenkov-Telescopes of the HEGRA-Collaboration. Part of the data were also taken during moonshine thus providing a nearly continuous coverage for this object in the TeV-range. We have carried out a QPO analysis and found evidence for a 23 day periodicity. We applied the same analysis on the ’data by dwell’ x-ray lightcurve from the RXTE/ASM database and found also evidence for the 23 day periodicity. The combined probability was – .

6 O ct 2 00 7 A possible disk mechanism for the 23 d QPO in Mkn 501
Optically thin two-temperature accretion flows may be thermally and viscously stable, but acoustically unstable. Here we propose that the O-mode instability of a cooling-dominated optically thin two-temperature inner disk may explain the 23day quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) period observed in the TeV and X-ray light curves of Mkn 501 during its 1997 high state. In our model the relativistic j...

The luminous X-ray binary and black-hole candidate LMC X-1 has been observed with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXT E) to search for quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO), previously reported in its high state. The source was observed monthly in a series of nine observations. Analysis of the temporal variations shows no evidence for QPO or other periodic changes, but correlations between the hig...
متن کاملProbing the X-ray Variability of X-ray Binaries
Kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) has been regarded as representing the Keplerian frequency at the inner disk edge in the neutron star X-ray binaries. The so-called “parallel tracks” on the plot of the kHz QPO frequency vs. X-ray flux in neutron star Xray binaries, on the other hand, show the correlation between the kHz QPO frequency and the X-ray flux on time scales from hours t...
