Non-geodesic orbital and epicyclic frequencies in vicinity of slowly rotating magnetized neutron stars
Pavel Bakala, Martin Urbanec, Eva Sramkova +2
We study non-geodesic corrections to the quasicircular motion of charged test particles in the field of magnetized slowly rotating neutron stars. The gravitational field is approxi…
Restrictions to neutron star properties based on twin-peak quasi-periodic oscillations
Gabriel Torok, Pavel Bakala, Eva Sramkova +3
We consider twin-peak quasi-periodic oscillations observed in the accreting low-mass neutron star binaries and explore restrictions to central compact object properties that are im…
Resonant switch model of twin peak HF QPOs applied to the atoll source 4U 1636-53
Zdenek Stuchlik, Andrea Kotrlova, Gabriel Torok
We present a Resonant Switch (RS) model of twin peak high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HF QPOs), assuming switch of twin oscillations at a resonant point, where frequenci…
Multi-resonance orbital model of HF QPOs
Zdenek Stuchlik, Andrea Kotrlova, Gabriel Torok
Using known frequencies of the twin peak high-frequency quasiperiodic oscillations (HF QPOs) and known mass M of the central black hole, the black-hole dimensionless spin a can be…
Confronting the models of 3:2 QPOs with the evidence of near extreme Kerr black hole
Andrea Kotrlova, Gabriel Torok, Eva Sramkova +1
The black hole mass and spin estimates assuming various specific models of the 3:2 high frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HF QPOs) have been carried out in Torok et al. (2005,…
LOFT: the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing
M. Feroci, J. W. den Herder, E. Bozzo +245
The LOFT mission concept is one of four candidates selected by ESA for the M3 launch opportunity as Medium Size missions of the Cosmic Vision programme. The launch window is curren…
