- Observations show that the upper νU and lower νL of the ``twin peak'' high frequency QPOs in neutron star sources vary along lines νU = AνL + B in a frequency-frequency plot, and that their ratios νU/νL cluster near the value 3/2. This behaviour is well consistent with the predictions of the non-linear resonance model for QPOs. In this Note, we further explore our recent finding that the coefficients A, B of the frequency-frequency lines for individual sources are anticorrelated. In the (A,B) plane, they occupy rather a narrow region along the line A = 3/2 - B/600 Hz. We show that this observational property of QPOs also follows from the resonance model

- The resonance model proposed in 2000 by Kluzniak and Abra-mo-wicz, explains the twin peak, high frequency, quasi periodic oscillations (HF QPOs) observed in the X-ray flux from black hole and neutron stars, as a non-linear resonance in modes of oscillations of accretion flows in strong gravity. While several important physical questions remain unanswered, recent observations of HF QPOs provide direct evidence of non-linear resonances. This article gives an up to date (May 2006) review of what has been explained, and what has not been explained, by the resonance model.

QPOs and Resonance in Accretion Disks

- We review arguments suggesting that millisecond variability detected in the X-ray flux of LMXBs has its origin in oscillation modes of the accretion disk. The twin high-frequency QPOs observed in microquasars seem to be related to the twin kHz QPOs in neutron-star systems, and both phenomena are likely the result of a non-linear resonance in the accretion disk that is possible only in strong-field gravity. A presumed 3:2 eigenfrequency ratio of the resonant modes corresponds to the 3:2 QPO frequency ratio clearly detected in black-hole systems, as well as to the more complex distribution of kHz QPO frequency pairs in neutron stars.
