Fundamental frequencies of strong field geodetic motion and QPOs in low-mass X-ray binaries

The relativistic precession model for quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in low-mass X-ray binaries is reviewed. The behaviour of three simultaneous types of QPOs is well matched in terms of the fundamental frequencies for geodesic motion in the strong field of the accreting compact object for reaso...
