Abstract

Abstract Production of pairs of high frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in black hole X-ray binaries is discussed based on a model of non-axisymmetric magnetic coupling of a rotating black hole (BH) with its surrounding accretion disk, in which a puzzling 3:2 ratio of the upper frequency to the lower frequency is explained. In addition, the correlation of the pairs of high frequency QPOs with the jets from microquasars is discussed.
