The correlations between the twin kHz QPO frequencies of LMXBs
Abstract
We analyzed the recently published kHz QPO data in the neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), in order to investigate the different correlations of the twin peak kilohertz quasi-eriodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) in bright Z sources and in the less luminous Atoll sources. We find that a power-law relation b between the upper and the lower kHz QPOs with different indices: b1.5 for the Atoll source 4U 1728-34 and b1.9 for the Z source Sco X-1. The implications of our results for the theoretical models for kHz QPOs are discussed.
