The re-occurrence of mHz quasi-periodic oscillations in Cygnus X-3.

Abstract (from CDS):

We have re-analysed archival RXTE data of the X-ray binary Cygnus X-3 with a view to investigate the timing properties of the source. As compared to previous studies, we use an extensive sample of observations that include all the radio/X-ray spectral states that have been categorized in the source recently. In this study we identify two additional instances of quasi-periodic oscillations that have centroid frequencies in the mHz regime. These events are all associated to a certain extent with major radio flaring, which in turn is associated with relativistic jet ejection events. We review briefly scenarios whereby the quasi-periodic oscillations may arise.
