refimprove date October 2009 In X ray astronomy , quasi periodic oscillation QPO is the manner in which the X ray light from an astronomical object flickers about certain frequencies. In these situations, the X rays are emitted near the inner edge of an accretion disk in which gas swirls onto a compact object such as a white dwarf , neutron star , or black hole . The QPO phenomenon promises to help astronomers understand the innermost regions of accretion disks and the masses, radii, and spin periods of white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. QPOs could help test Albert Einstein s theory of general relativity which makes predictions that differ most from those of Newtonian gravity when the gravitational force is strongest or when rotation is fastest when a phenomenon called the Lense Thirring effect comes into play. However, the various explanations of QPOs remain controversial and the conclusions reached from their study remain provisional. A QPO is identified by performing a power spectrum of the time series of the X rays. A constant level of white noise is expected from the random variation of sampling the object s light. Systems that show QPOs sometimes also show nonperiodic ... observation . A QPO, on the other hand, appears as a broader peak, sometimes with a Lorentzian shape. What sort of variation with time could cause a QPO? For example, the power spectrum of an oscillating shot appears as a continuum of noise together with a QPO. An oscillating shot is a sinusoidal ... from several time intervals and then added together before the QPO can be seen to be statistically ... in the QPOs. Typical QPO frequencies were found to be between about 1 and 60 hertz . The fastest ... over a nearly regular interval. This signal is the QPO. Astronomers have long suspected that a QPO ..., so the QPO clock ticks quickly. As black holes increase in mass, the congestion zone is pushed farther out, so the QPO clock ticks slower and slower.
