A remarkable correlation between the centroid frequencies of quasi periodic oscillations, QPOs, (or peaked noise components) from low mass X-ray binaries, has been recently discovered by Psaltis, Belloni and van der Klis (1999). This correlation extends over nearly 3 decades in frequency and encompasses both neutron star and black hole candidate systems. We discuss this result in the light of the relativistic precession model, which has been proposed to interpret the kHz QPOs as well as some of the lower frequency QPOs of neutron star low mass X-ray binaries of the Atoll and Z classes. Unlike other models the relativistic precession model does not require the compact object to be a neutron star and can be applied to black hole candidates as well. We show that the predictions of the relativistic precession model match both the value and dependence of the correlation to a very good accuracy without resorting to additional assumptions.

  1. Short GRB 090510: a magnetized neutron star binary merger leading to a black hole

    astro-ph.HE 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    GRB 090510 is modeled as a merger of two ~1.2 solar mass neutron stars that forms a spinning 2.36 solar mass black hole, with each emission phase traced to a different energy source.

  2. Quasi-Periodic Oscillations due to radiative feedback mechanism between the disc and corona

    astro-ph.HE 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A disc-corona radiative feedback loop with a time delay produces QPOs at 1/(tau_A+tau_B), and its analytic power spectrum fits AstroSat data of two black hole binaries.

  3. Probing the nature of Einstein nonlinear Maxwell Yukawa black hole through gravitational wave forms from periodic orbits and quasiperiodic oscillations

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Gravitational waveforms from periodic orbits and QPOs around ENLMY black holes are derived and used with MCMC to constrain the Yukawa parameter and charge for microquasars and the galactic center.

  4. Mapping Quasi-Periodic Oscillations to Lyapunov Exponent across Black Hole Thermodynamic Phase Transitions

    gr-qc 2025-10 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    For a nonminimally coupled magnetic AdS black hole, the Lyapunov exponent and QPO frequencies both reproduce the swallowtail branch structure of the Van der Waals-like thermodynamic phase transition.

  5. Epicyclic oscillations and accretion disk around a special Buchdahl-inspired spacetime

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The Buchdahl-inspired metric shifts the ISCO inward for positive k tilde and produces QPO and disk profiles that the authors fit to microquasar data, claiming 0.03<k<0.19.
