cds-question@unistra.frx-ray-binary-starsblack-holesWe present a systematic study of the orbital inclination effects on black hole transients fast time-variability properties. We have considered all the black hole binaries that have been densely monitored by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite. We find that the amplitude of low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) depends on the orbital inclination. Type-C QPOs are stronger for nearly edge-on systems (high inclination), while type-B QPOs are stronger when the accretion disc is closer to face-on (low inclination). Our results also suggest that the noise associated with type-C QPOs is consistent with being stronger for low-inclination sources, while the noise associated with type-B QPOs seems inclination independent. These results are consistent with a geometric origin of the type-C QPOs - for instance arising from relativistic precession of the inner flow within a truncated disc - while the noise would correspond to intrinsic brightness variability from mass accretion rate fluctuations in the accretion flow. The opposite behaviour of type-B QPOs - stronger in low-inclinations sources - supports the hypothesis that type-B QPOs are related to the jet, the power of which is the most obvious measurable parameter expected to be stronger in nearly face-on sources.2015MNRAS.447.2059Mhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/447/2059CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/ApJ/698/1398 : H1743-322 2003 outburst (McClintock+, 2009)J/MNRAS/415/292 : MAXI J1659-152 2010 outburst analysis (Munoz-Darias+, 2011)J/MNRAS/422/679 : Spectral parameters for MAXI J1543-564 (Stiele+, 2012)J/MNRAS/426/1701 : High-frequency QPO in black hole binaries (Belloni+, 2012)J/MNRAS/428/1704 : XTE J1550-564 quasi-periodic oscillations (Li+, 2013)J/MNRAS/428/2500 : GX 339-4 radio/X-ray flux correlation (Corbel+, 2013)J/MNRAS/431/L107 : Outbursts of GX339-4 at 5.5 and 9.0GHz fluxesJ/MNRAS/431/3510 : GX 339-4 X-ray binary (Salvesen+, 2013)J/ApJ/808/144 : Swift/XRT 0.5-10keV obs. of MAXI J1659-152 (Kalamkar+, 2015)J/ApJS/222/15 : WATCHDOG: an all-sky database of Galactic BHXBsJ/ApJ/853/150 : Spectral analysis of low-mass X-ray binaries (Sonbas+, 2018)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/447/2059https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/447/2059http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/447/2059https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/447/2059https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/447/2059http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/447/2059GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/MNRAS/447/2059/table1 (List of BH transients and outbursts included in this work)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/447/2059/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/447/2059/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/447/2059/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true268.3678739-1.45173810.0055555555555555566/5609 28744 28805 28830 28922 29416 29691 32208 41809-41810 42189 42196 42215 42417 42533https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/MNRAS/447/2059?format=asciidefaultJ/MNRAS/447/2059/table1List of BH transients and outbursts included in this workSimbadNameSimbad column added by the CDSmeta.idcharNameName of systemmeta.id;pos.framecharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
