26 Jul 1999 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | NASA/GSFC/RITSS) and Lev Titarchuk (NASA/GSFC/GMU/CSI | | Abstract: | The recent model of quasi-periodic oscillations in neutron star binaries (Osherovich and Titarchuk 1999, Titarchuk and Osherovich 1999) has suggested the existence of two branches of QPOs due to the influence of Coriolis force on the linear Keplerian oscillator: one branch with frequencies from 400 to 1200 Hz and another branch with frequencies an order of magnitude lower. The frequencies of the high branch nu_h hold a hybrid frequency relation with the Keplerian frequency nu_K: nu_h^2=nu_K^2+ [Omega/pi]^2, where Omega is the rotational frequency of the star’s magnetosphere. The frequency of the low branch is nu_L=(Omega/pi)(nu_K/nu_h) sin(delta), where delta is a small angle between vector Omega and the vector normal to the plane of Keplerian oscillations. The observations of the source 4U 1702-42 (Markwardt et al 1999) have shown that the centroid of the 35 Hz QPO tracks the frequency of the kilohertz oscillations. We interpret the 35 Hz oscillations as nu_L and find delta=3.9^o +/- 0.2^o. Our results make 4U 1702-42 the second source (after Sco X-1) for which the theoretically derived lower branch is identified (within our model) and delta is calculated. The inferred angle delta stays approximately the same over the significant range of nu_K (650 - 900 Hz), as expected from the model. Based on our model we present a classification of QPO frequencies in the source 4U 1702-42 observed above and below nu_L. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9907362 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
