a Possible Origin for the HFQPOs in Microquasars
Abstract
High-Frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (HFQPO) have been observed in several microquasars but no model of this elusive phenomena has yet gained wide acceptance. Before looking at a model based on the Rossby Wave Instability (RWI), we first look at the constraints arising from observations and how that translates for an HFQPO model. This list could then be used to test any model. Here we present how the RWI fares with respect to that list and the first PDS made from simulations.
