First detection of mHz QPOs in 1A 0535+262 below 27 keV with frequencies evolving from 41 to 93 mHz, mostly hard lags, and double-peaked high-energy structure near outburst peak, interpreted as linked to soft-photon source and Comptonizing outflow evolution.
Discovery of Spearman correlation 0.8 between energy-dependent time lag and polarization degree in Swift J1727.8-1613, with theoretical arguments for additional mechanisms beyond inverse Comptonization.
Type-C QPOs in Swift J1727.8-1613 exhibit energy-dependent rms-frequency relations with a common break at 4 Hz, indicating a change in accretion geometry.
