A review of quasi-periodic oscillations from black hole X-ray binaries: observation and theory

AR Ingram, SE Motta - New Astronomy Reviews, 2019 - Elsevier
Black hole and neutron star X-ray binary systems routinely show quasi-periodic oscillations
(QPOs) in their X-ray flux. Despite being strong, easily measurable signals, their physical …

Gravitational analog of Faraday rotation in the magnetized Kerr and Reissner-Nordström spacetimes

C Chakraborty - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
It is known that the gravitational analog of the Faraday rotation arises in the rotating
spacetime due to the nonzero gravitomagnetic field. In this paper, we show that it also arises …
