The determination of the GX 339-4's mass based on its 2010 outburst

In this paper we investigate the quasi periodic oscillation (QPO) behavior of the black hole candidate GX 339-4 during its 2010 outburst using RXTE/PCA data. We perform spectral and timing analysis of the observations, where the QPOs are observed. We analyze the relationship between the centroid frequency of QPO and the spectral parameters. The correlation of spectral and timing properties can be used to estimate the mass of black hole with the scaling method. Using this method we estimate a mass of 7.5 +/- 0.8 M_solar of GX 339-4.
