It has long been proposed that low frequency QPOs in stellar mass black holes or their equivalents in super massive black holes are results of resonances between infall and cooling time scales. We explicitly compute these two time scales in a generic situation to show that resonances are easily achieved. During an outburst of a transient black hole candidate (BHC), the accretion rate of the Keplerian disk as well as the geometry of the Comptonizing cloud change very rapidly. During some period, resonance condition between the cooling time scale (predominantly by Comptonization) and the infall time scale of the Comptonizing cloud is roughly satisfied. This leads to low frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (LFQPOs) of the Compton cloud and the consequent oscillation of hard X-rays. In this paper, we explicitly follow the BHC H 1743-322 during its 2010 outburst. We compute Compton cooling time and infall time on several days and show that QPOs take place when these two roughly agree within ~50%, i.e., the resonance condition is generally satisfied. We also confirm that for the sharper LFQPOs (i.e., higher Q-factors) the ratio of two time scales is very close to 1.

Using black body and power-law photon counts of All Sky Monitor (ASM) in Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) satellite it has been established recently by us that there is a significant time lag between the infall timescales of two components in the T
wo-Component Advective Flow (TCAF) paradigm, where a standard slow moving Keplerian disc is surrounded by a fast moving halo. The time lag is clearly due to the difference in viscosity in the flow components and the size of the Keplerian disc may be considered to be proportional to the arrival time lag. In this paper, using RXTE/ASM (1.5-12 keV) data, we examine eight successive outbursts of the low-mass X-ray binary H 1743-322 since 2003 from a new angle. A dynamic photon index, {Theta} indicates that the size of the Keplerian disc is biggest during the brightest outburst of 2003. The size diminishes thereafter during subsequent weaker outbursts. These results are corroborated when two energy fluxes corresponding to the two flows are cross-correlated with reference to {Theta}. Moreover, {Theta} decides spectral transitions of any outburst. We show from the behaviour of {Theta} alone that the outburst of October 2008 was an anomalous outburst. In fact, each normal outburst was either preceded or followed by an otherwise premature outburst. This makes H 1743-322 an enigmatic source and a subject of further study.
We present the detection of type C quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) along with upper harmonic at respective frequencies of $sim0.6$ Hz and $sim1.2$ Hz in the single AstroSat observation taken during the 2016 outburst of the low-mass black hole X-ray
binary H~1743--322. These frequencies are found to be shifted by $sim0.4$ Hz for the QPO and $sim0.8$ Hz for the upper harmonic with respect to that found in the simultaneous textit{XMM-Newton} and textit{NuSTAR} observation taken five days later than the AstroSat observation, indicating a certain geometrical change in the system. However, the centroid frequency of the QPO and the upper harmonic do not change with energy, indicating the energy-independent nature. The decreasing trend in the fractional rms of the QPO with energy is consistent with the previous results for this source in the low/hard state. The value of the photon index ($Gammasim1.67$) also indicates that the source was in the low/hard state during this particular observation. In addition, similar to the textit{XMM-Newton} observations during the same outburst, we find a hard lag of $sim21$ ms in the frequency range of $sim1-5$ Hz. The log-linear trend between the averaged time lag and energy indicates the propagation of fluctuations in the mass accretion rate from outer part of the accretion disk to the inner hot regions.
An appearance or disappearance of QPOs associated with the variation of X-ray flux can be used to decipher the accretion ejection mechanism of black hole X-ray sources. We searched and studied such rapid transitions in H1743-322 using RXTE archival d
ata and found eight such events, where QPO vanishes suddenly along with the variation of X-ray flux. The appearance/disappearance of QPOs were associated to the four events exhibiting type-B QPOs at $sim$ 4.5 Hz, one with type-A QPO at $ u$ $sim$ 3.5 Hz, and the remaining three were connected to type-C QPOs at $sim$ 9.5 Hz. Spectral studies of the data unveiled that an inner disk radius remained at the same location around 2-9 r$_g$ , depending on the used model but power-law indices were varying, indicating that either corona or jet is responsible for the events. The probable ejection radii of corona were estimated to be around 4.2-15.4 r$_g$ based on the plasma ejection model. Our X-ray and quasi-simultaneous radio correlation studies suggest that the type-B QPOs are probably related to the precession of a weak jet though a small and weak corona is present at its base and the type-C QPOs are associated to the base of a relatively strong jet which is acting like a corona.
X-ray disk winds are detected in spectrally soft, disk-dominated phases of stellar-mass black hole outbursts. In contrast, compact, steady, relativistic jets are detected in spectrally hard states that are dominated by non-thermal X-ray emission. Alt
hough these distinctive outflows appear to be almost mutually exclusive, it is possible that a disk wind persists in hard states but cannot be detected via X-ray absorption lines owing to very high ionization. Here, we present an analysis of a deep, 60 ksec Chandra/HETGS observation of the black hole candidate H 1743-322 in the low/hard state. The spectrum shows no evidence of a disk wind, with tight limits, and within the range of ionizing flux levels that were measured in prior Chandra observations wherein a wind was clearly detected. In H 1743-322, at least, disk winds are actually diminished in the low/hard state, and disk winds and jets are likely state-dependent and anti-correlated. These results suggest that although the launching radii of winds and jets may differ by orders of magnitude, they may both be tied to a fundamental property of the inner accretion flow, such as the mass accretion rate and/or the magnetic field topology of the disk. We discuss these results in the context of disk winds and jets in other stellar-mass black holes, and possible launching mechanisms for black hole outflows.
In June 2015, the black hole X-ray binary (BHXRB) V404 Cygni went into outburst for the first time since 1989. Here, we present a comprehensive search for quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of V404 Cygni during its recent outburst, utilizing data fro
m six instruments on board five different X-ray missions: Swift/XRT, Fermi/GBM, Chandra/ACIS, INTEGRALs IBIS/ISGRI and JEM-X, and NuSTAR. We report the detection of a QPO at 18 mHz simultaneously with both Fermi/GBM and Swift/XRT, another example of a rare but slowly growing new class of mHz-QPOs in BHXRBs linked to sources with a high orbital inclination. Additionally, we find a duo of QPOs in a Chandra/ACIS observation at 73 mHz and 1.03 Hz, as well as a QPO at 136 mHz in a single Swift/XRT observation that can be interpreted as standard Type-C QPOs. Aside from the detected QPOs, there is significant structure in the broadband power, with a strong feature observable in the Chandra observations between 0.1 and 1 Hz. We discuss our results in the context of current models for QPO formation.
