The objective of this work is to analyze the temperature oscillations that occur in a gas in a circular motion under the action of a Reissner–Nordström gravitational field, verifying the effect of the charge term of the metric on the oscillations. The expression for temperature oscillations follows from Tolman’s law written in Fermi normal coordinates for a comoving observer. The motion of the gas is close to geodesic so the equation of geodesic deviation was used to obtain the expression for temperature oscillations. Then these oscillations are calculated for some compact stars, quark stars, black holes and white dwarfs, using values of electric charge and mass from models found in the literature. Comparing the various models analyzed, it is possible to verify that the role of the charge is the opposite of the mass. While the increase of the mass produces a reduction in the frequencies, amplitude and, in the ratio between the frequencies, the increase of the electric charge produces the inverse effect. In addition, it is shown that if the electric charge is proportional to the mass, the ratio between the frequencies does not depend on the mass, but only on the proportionality factor between charge and mass. The ratios between the frequencies for all the models analyzed (except for supermassive black holes in the extreme limit situations) are close to the [Formula: see text] ratio for twin peak quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) frequencies, observed in many galactic black holes and neutron star sources in low-mass X-ray binaries.

AbstractWith kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillation (kHz QPO) sources in neutron star low mass X-ray binaries (NS-LMXBs) published up to now, we analyze the centroid frequency (ν) distribution of twin kHz QPOs. We find that Atoll and Z sources show the similar distributions of ν1 and ν2, which indicate that twin kHz QPOs may be the common property of NS-LXMBs and have the similar physical origins. The mean values of ν1 and ν2 in Atoll sources are higher than those in Z sources, and we consider that this may because the QPO signals are sheltered by the thicken accretion disk or corona in Z sources. The maximums of ν2 in both Atoll and Z sources are the same order as the Keplerian orbital frequency of the NS surface, so kHz QPOs could occur near the NS surface.

AbstractNon-linear oscillations in the accretion disk are favored as an explanation of high-frequency QPOs observed in the light curves of low-mass X-ray binaries containing neutron stars, black holes, or white dwarfs.

We study the formation of low-mass X-ray binaries with a black hole as accreting object. The performed semi-analytic analysis reveals that the formation rate of black holes in low-mass X-ray binaries is about two orders of magnitude smaller than that of systems with a neutron star as accretor. This is contradicted by the six observed systems, which are all transients, which suggest that the majority of these systems has not been seen jet. The birthrate for both type of objects are expected to be similar (for reviews see Cowley 1992, Tanaka & Lewin 1995).

AbstractDynamical interactions that take place between objects in dense stellar systems lead to frequent formation of exotic stellar objects, unusual binaries, and systems of higher multiplicity. They are most important for the formation of binaries with neutron stars and black holes, which are usually observationally revealed in mass-transferring binaries. Here we review the current understanding of compact object's retention, of the metallicity dependence on the formation of low-mass X-ray binaries with neutron stars, and how mass-transferring binaries with a black hole and a white dwarf can be formed. We discuss as well one old unsolved puzzle and two new puzzles posed by recent observations: what descendants do ultra-compact X-ray binaries produce, how are very compact triples formed, and how can black hole low-mass X-ray binaries acquire non-degenerate companions?

It is believed that quark stars or neutron stars with mixed phase in the core have smaller radii compared to ordinary compact stars. With the recent observation of several low radius objects, typically a radius of <10 km for star of mass <1 M⊙ in low mass X-ray binaries (LMXB), it has become very important to understand the nature of these objects. An accurate determination of the mass–radius relationship of these objects provide us with a physical laboratory to study the composition of high density matter and the nature of phase transition. We study the effect of quark and nuclear matter mixed phase on the mass radius relationship and radial oscillations of neutron stars. We find that the effect of the mixed phase is to decrease the maximum mass of a stable neutron star and to decrease the radial frequencies.
