Description
Type-C QPOs in low-mass X-ray binaries are most commonly explained by the Lense-Thirring precession of the innermost hot and geometrically-thick component of the accretion flow. Most models however ignores any influence of the outer cold geometrically-thin accretion disk. We will discuss how this simple picture changes when the accretion torque by the outer disk is taken into account.
