Dependence of kHz QPO Properties on Normal-Branch Oscillation Phase in Scorpius X-1

Jonker1 ABSTRACT We analysed RXTE data of Sco X-1 which show kHz quasi-periodic oscilla- tions (QPOs) and the ～6–8 Hz normal-branch oscillation (NBO) simultaneously. Using power spectra of 0.03–0.5 s data segments, we find that both the upper kHz QPO frequency ν2 and the ratio of lower to upper kHz QPO amplitude are anticorrelated to variations in the X-ray count-rate taking place on the NBO time scale. The frequency dependence is similar to (but probably weaker than) that found on longer time scales, but the power ratio dependence is opposite to it. A model where radiative stresses on the disk material, modulated at the NBO frequency, lead to changes in ν2 can explain the data; this implies some of the NBO flux changes originate from inside the inner disk radius. We discuss how these findings affect our understanding of kHz QPOs and of the low-frequency variability of low-mass X-ray binaries. Subject headings: accretion — stars: neutron — stars: individual (Sco X–1) — X–rays: stars 1. Introduction Observations with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) of neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) have led to the discovery of kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) in about 20 sources (van der Klis 2000 for a review). The kHz QPO frequency is always correlated with position in the tracks traced out by these sources in X-ray color- color diagrams. This usually implies kHz QPO frequency is correlated with X-ray count rate, 1Astronomical Institute, “Anton Pannekoek”, University of Amsterdam, and Center for High En- ergy Astrophysics, Kruislaan 403, 1098 SJ Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
