A NICER Discovery of a Low-Frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillation in the Soft-Intermediate State of MAXI J1535-571
A. L. Stevens, P. Uttley, D. Altamirano +17
We present the discovery of a low-frequency Hz quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) feature in observations of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1535-571 in its soft-inte…
