Twin peak QPOs frequencies in microquasars and Sgr A The resonance and other orbital models
Paper in proceeding, 2004

In all four microquasars which show twin peak kHz QPOs, the ratio of the two frequencies is 3:2. This rather strongly supports the suggestion by [Abramowicz and Kluźniak, 2001] that twin peak kHz QPOs are due to a resonance between some modes of accretion disk oscillations. Detailed studies of this suggestion revealed that several such non-linear resonances are present in nearly Keplerian disks in strong gravity. Here, we fit to observations predictions of the resonance hypothesis for two particular types of non-linear resonances between vertical and radial epicyclic frequencies. For three microquasars with known masses, the fits give an accurate estimate of the spin.
