Scientific paper

Resonant oscillations in warped disks are examined in order to explain high-frequency QPOs and horizontal-branch QPOs in low-mass X-ray binaries. Different from our previous work, addressed to the same subjects, we relax in this paper the assumption that the disks are isothermal in the vertical direction. That is, the pressure, density, and temperature are assumed to be distributed in the vertical direction with a polytropic relation, and the polytropic index changes as the disk state changes. By this generalization and by some subsidiaries we can qualitatively explain, within the framework of our resonance model, observed large frequency variations in neutron-star QPOs and little variations in black-hole QPOs. We consider vertical resonances of g-mode oscillations, since they are most appropriate to explain observations.
