Scientific paper

We draw attention to the importance of the characteristic periods of the vertical oscillation of accretion discs. The periods and stability of the vertical oscillation of the thin accretion discs surrounding a neutron star are calculated numerically with the use of the OPAL opacities - newly presented radiative opacities. The periods of the oscillations are similar to the time-scale of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of X-rays. The vertical oscillation is also studied for other accreting objects. It is suggested that the vertical oscillations of discs are the cause of QPOs.
