Scientific paper

Presents a final analysis of a research project at the Space Telescope Science Institute with funding from NASA. The project used the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) to detect both high (1-3 s) and low (approx. 600 s) frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) from 6 AM Herculis binaries. Simultaneous optical observations of QPOs were used in making sensitive analyses of these QPOs. Observations of 6 binaries enabled a test of the relationship of frequency and magnetic field strength for the high frequency QPOs and observations of binaries of different orbital periods enabled the distinction between the two competing models of low frequency oscillations.
