Discovery of quasi-periodic oscillations in the persistent X-ray emission of accreting binary X-ray pulsar LMC X-4

We report the discovery of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) pulsar LMC X-4 in its non-flaring (persistent) state using observations with XMM-Newton. In addition to the 74 mHz coherent pulsations, the persistent emission light curve shows a QPO feature in the fr...
