  2. Dipole magnetic field on the Schwarzschild background and related epicyclic frequencies • Mass estimate and quality problems of LMXBs kHz QPOs data fits by the relativistic precession QPO model frequency relations • Arbitrary solution: improving of fits by lowering the radial epicyclic frequency • Possible interpretation: The Lorentz force • Frequencies of orbital motion in the dipole magnetic field • Implications for the relativistic precession kHz QPO model • Conclusions

  3. Fitting the LMXBs kHz QPO data by relativistic precession frequency relations The relativistic precesion model (in next RP model) introduced by Stella and Vietri, (1998, ApJ) indetifies the upper QPO frequency as orbital (keplerian) frequency and the lower QPO frequency as the periastron precesion frequency. The geodesic frequencies are the functions of the parameters of spacetime geometry (M, j, q) and the appropriate radial coordinate.

  4. Fitting the LMXBs kHz QPO data by relativistic precession frequency relations M=2Msun (From : T. Belloni, M. Mendez, J. Homan, 2007, MNRAS)

  5. Fitting the LMXBs kHz QPO data by relativistic precession frequency relations Hartle - Thorne metric, particular source 4U 1636-53 Fit parameters: mass, specific angular momentum, quadrupole momentum M=2.65Msun j=0.48 q=0.23

  6. Fitting the LMXBs kHz QPO data by relativistic precession frequency relations Improvingoffits : non-geodesiccorrection ? The discussed geodesic relation provide fits which are in good qualitative agreement with general trend observed in the neutron star kHz QPO data, but not really good fits (we checked for the other five atoll sources, that trends are same as for 4U 1636-53) with realistic values of mass and angular momentum with respect to the present knowledge of the neutron star equations of state To check whether some non geodesic influence can resolve the problem above we consider the assumption that the effective frequency of radial oscillations may be lowered, by the slightly charged hotspots interaction with the neutron star magnetic field. Then, in the possible lowest order approximation, the effective frequency of radial oscillations may be written as where k is a small konstant.
