Title: USA and RXTE Observations of a Variable Low-Frequency QPO in XTEJ1118+480

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/763803· OSTI ID:763803

The USA experiment on ARGOS and RXTE have extensively observed the X-ray transient XTEJ1118+480 during its recent outburst in 2000 April--June. The authors present detailed monitoring of the evolution of a low frequency QPO which drifts from 0.07 Hz to 0.15 Hz during the outburst. They examine possible correlations of the QPO frequency with the flux and spectral characteristics of the source, and compare this QPO to low frequency QPOs observed in other black hole candidates.
