Mass and spin measurements of black hole and neutron stars X-ray binaries through axisymmetric oscillation modes of thick torus.

Abstract (from CDS):

This paper examines the oscillatory behaviour of relativistic, non-self-gravitating, charged-fluid toroidal structures within the context of the Kerr metric. The primary objective is to explore how thick accretion discs influence the mass and spin measurements of black holes and neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) through quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) models. To achieve this, we conduct a local analysis within a general relativistic framework, determining the radial epicyclic and orbital frequencies in a perfect fluid disc. The tori are modelled using a non-Keplerian distribution of specific angular momentum, and we analyse how the oscillation properties depend on the model's angular momentum distribution parameters. Subsequently, we connect these oscillatory frequencies to high-frequency QPOs observed in LMXBs, enabling us to calculate the optimal mass and spin values for each studied source.
