The physics of kHz QPOs---strong gravity's coupled anharmonic oscillators
read the original abstract
We explain the origin of the puzzling high frequency peaks (QPOs) in the variability power spectra of accreting neutron stars and black holes as a non-linear 1:2 or 1:3 resonance between orbital and radial epicyclic motion. These resonances are present because the gravitational field deviates strongly from a Newtonian 1/r potential. Our theory agrees with the recently reported observations of two QPOs, at 300 Hz and 450 Hz, in the black hole candidate GRO J1655-40.

The relativistic restricted three-body problem: geometry and motion around tidally perturbed black holes
Increasing tidal deformation around a black hole drives bound geodesics through weak chaos, plunging, unbinding, and eventual depletion of all bound motion, with semi-analytic critical amplitudes for each transition.

The properties and predictions of quasi-periodic oscillations around a black hole in nonlocal gravity
Nonlocal gravity shrinks the ISCO radius, boosts QPO frequencies, and constrains α/M ≤ 0.452 with M ≲ 43.6 M_⊙ for observed high-frequency QPOs under resonance models.

Analytic and Numerical Constraints on QPOs in EHT and XRB Sources Using Quantum-Corrected Black Holes
Quantum-corrected black hole models predict different QPO frequency evolutions, with Model-I showing an ISCO shift and QPO suppression that can be tested against X-ray binary observations.
