abstract

The study of the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of X-ray flux observed in the stellar-mass black hole (BH) binaries or quasars can provide a powerful tool for testing the phenomena occurring in strong gravity regime. We thus fit the data of QPOs observed in the well known quasars as well as microquasars in the framework of the model of geodesic oscillations of Keplerian disks modified for the epicyclic oscillations of spinning test particles orbiting Kerr BHs. We show that the modified geodesic models of QPOs can explain the observational fixed data from the quasars and microquasars but not for all sources. We perform a successful fitting of the high frequency QPOs models of epicyclic resonance and its variants, relativistic precession and its variants, tidal disruption, as well as warped disc models, and discuss the corresponding constraints of parameters of the model, which are the spin $S$ of the test particle, mass $M$ and spin $a$ of the BH.

  1. Spin precession frequencies of a test gyroscope around a naked singularity and quasi-periodic oscillations

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper derives spin precession frequencies for a rotating naked singularity spacetime, shows they match Kerr in the weak field, and uses quasi-periodic oscillations to constrain and disfavor the model.

  2. Mapping Quasi-Periodic Oscillations to Lyapunov Exponent across Black Hole Thermodynamic Phase Transitions

    gr-qc 2025-10 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    For a nonminimally coupled magnetic AdS black hole, the Lyapunov exponent and QPO frequencies both reproduce the swallowtail branch structure of the Van der Waals-like thermodynamic phase transition.
