High-Frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillations and Oscillations of Accretion Disks

Explore high-frequency variability in X-ray light curves of accreting black holes and neutron stars in this 59-minute lecture by Dr Jiří Horák from The Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague. Delve into theoretical explanations focusing on models based on orbital motion and oscillations of geometrically thin accretion disks. Examine disk linear modes, their nonlinear interactions, and resonances. Gain insights into the fascinating world of high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations and accretion disk dynamics in this Wednesday colloquium presented at Centrum Fizyki Teoretycznej PAN.
