Scientific paper

We have made a detailed study of the pulse-frequency changes during the long outbursts of three transient X-ray binaries observed by RXTE. These sources, GRO J1744-28, KS 1947+300 and SAX J2103.5+4545, all demonstrate a well-determined relationship between their X-ray luminosity and the derivative of the pulse frequency. They also each undergo episodes during which the pulse-frequency derivative is significantly higher than would be predicted from the observed X-ray luminosity. Some of these episodes may be the result of not correctly determining the X-ray luminosity but others may be due to torque not associated with mass accretion, with which the X-ray luminosity is correlated.
