Testing Lense -Thirring precession • ζ=0 works quite well
Testing Lense -Thirring precession • ζ=0 works quite well • Increasing very well! ζ works
Conclusions • Use model designed to describe the energy spectra in order to explain – the LF QPO, – the broadband noise continuum and – the uk. Hz QPO • This also predicts the sigma-flux relation and time lags between hard and soft X-ray bands
Thank you!
Lense-Thirring precession • • An orbiting particle can be described by the coordinates φ(t), θ(t) and r(t) which vary periodically with frequency, ν In Newtonian orbits νφ = νθ = νr which gives elliptical orbits with fixed axes and fixed orbital plane. νφ ≠ νr => z r y θ φ x y x Precession of an ellipse

Where is the inner edge? • • The surface density is influenced by the shape of the flow Warps propagated by bending waves which: • allow solid body precession, • give it a weird shape at small r! λ α r 9/4 a*-1/2 • Waves can turn over at r~ λ/4 so this is where the shape goes weird! ri α ri 9/4 a*-1/2 ri α a*2/5
Solid body precession of the flow • But we’re NOT looking at point particles! Optically thin flow Optically thick disc Geometrically thick, advection prominent, hard spectrum Geometrically thin, blackbody spectrum Warps from differential twisting communicated by wavelike diffusion Warps from differential twisting communicated by viscous diffusion Warps propagated outwards at the local sound speed Warps propagated outwards at the local viscous speed Sound crossing timescale < precession timescale Viscous timescale < precession timescale only at small r Flow precesses as a solid body Bardeen-Petterson effect

Modelling the broadband noise × • Large scale height flow => MRI fluctuations • In a given annulus of the flow, the MRI produces a white noise of fluctuations • Mass accretion rate (luminosity) cannot vary on shorter timescales than the local viscous timescale (flow response) e. g. Balbus & Hawley 1998 = e. g. Psaltis & Norman 2000 This gives the noise spectrum GENERATED at each
Propagating fluctuations This gives the noise spectrum EMMITED at each annulus e. g. Lyubarskii 1997; Arevalo & Uttley
Total power spectrum νb νh Therefore, this model gives: ν b =ν visc (r o ) ν h =ν visc (r i)
