Epicyclic Frequencies and Resonant Phenomena Near Black Holes: The Current Status
Abstract
Description
We briefly discuss the theory of epicyclic motion near rotating black holes and its relation to the origin of high frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) seen in many cases of accreting black hole binaries. We also point out some new frequency ratios predicted by the theory.
