Discovery of High-Frequency QPOs in Black Hole Candidate XTE J1859+226
Wei Cui1, Chris R. Shrader23, Carole A. Haswell4, and Robert I. Hynes5
ABSTRACT
We report the discovery of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) at roughly 187 Hz
and 150 Hz in the X-ray intensity of X-ray nova XTE J1859+226. The source was
observed during a recent outburst with RXTE. Besides these high-frequency QPOs, we
have also detected QPOs (and sometimes their harmonics) at 6–7 Hz, and significant
broad-band variability at low frequencies. These properties, as well as the observed
hard X-ray spectrum, make XTE J1859+226 a black hole candidate (BHC).
The detection of QPOs at two distinct frequencies
～
100 Hz in two observations
separated by about 4 hours provide additional insights into the high-frequency QPO
phenomenon in BHCs. The importance lies in the proposed interpretations which
invariably involve the effects of strong gravity near a black hole. We compare our
results to those of other BHCs, and discuss the impact of the observational data on
the models in a global context.

1. Introduction
A new X-ray nova, designated as XTE J1859+226, was discovered by the ASM/RXTE on
October 9, 1999 (Wood et al. 1999). Subsequent observations (2-60 keV) of the source with the
PCA/RXTE revealed a hard X-ray spectrum roughly of power-law shape (Markwardt et al. 1999).
