The model constraints from the observed trends for the quasi-periodic oscillation in RE J1034+396

We analyze the time variability of the X-ray emission of RE J1034+396 -- an active galactic nucleus with the first firm detection of a quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO). Based on the results of a wavelet analysis, we find a drift in the QPO central frequency. The change in the QPO frequency correlates with the change in the X-ray flux with a short time delay. The data specifically suggest a linear dependence between the QPO period and the flux, and this gives important constraints on the QPO models. In particular, it excludes explanation in terms of the orbiting hot spot model close to a black hole. Linear structures such as shocks, spiral waves, or very distant flares are favored.Comment: Astronomy & Astrophysics, in pres

QPO in RE J1034+396: model constraints from observed trends

We analyze the time variability of the X-ray emission of RE J1034+396, an active galactic nucleus with the first firm detection of a quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO). Based on the results of a wavelet analysis, we find a drift in the QPO central frequency. The change inthe QPO frequency correlates with the change in the X-ray flux with a short time delay. Linear structures such as shocks, spiral waves, orvery distant flares seem to be a favored explanation for this particular QPO event.Comment: to appear in the proceedings to "The Central Kiloparsec in Galactic Nuclei (AHAR2011)", Journal of Physics: Conference Series (JPCS), IOP Publishin
