The innermost stable circular orbit and the splitting of epicyclic and orbital frequencies are among strong-field signatures of general relativity searched for in astronomical objects, particularly in the X-ray data accumulated in observations of neutron stars and black holes. It may come as a surprise that these effects are present in the Newtonian physics of rapidly rotating gravitating bodies, such as the classic Maclaurin spheroids.

Innermost Stable Circular Orbits Around Rotating Compact Stars
Orbital motion close to a rotating compact star is largely affected by strong gravity. Location of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) is determined trough interplay between the effects of…

Evolution of the innermost stable orbits around accreting neutron stars
The surface of most neutron stars with soft equations of state lies within the innermost stable circular orbit predicted by general relativity. In disk accretion onto a weakly magnetized neutron…
Small strange stars and marginally stable orbit in Newtonian theory
It is shown that for very rapidly rotating low mass strange stars the marginally stable orbit is located above the stellar surface. This effect is explained by the very important role of the…

Marginally stable orbits around Maclaurin spheroids and low-mass quark stars
When the eccentricity of a Maclaurin spheroid exceeds a critical value ($e>0.83458318$), circular orbits in the equatorial plane are unstable for a range of orbital radii outside the stellar surface…
Determining the properties of accretion-gap neutron stars
If neutron stars have radii as small as has been argued by some, observations of accretion-powered X-rays could verify the existence of innermost stable circular orbits (predicted by general…
Nonlinear Resonance in the Accretion Disk of a Millisecond Pulsar
Two simultaneous frequencies of quasi-periodic millisecond modulation of the X-ray flux (twin kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations) have recently been detected in an accreting 2.5 ms X-ray pulsar.…
Global Trapped Oscillations of Relativistic Accretion Disks
Axially symmetric, isothermal pulsations of a geometrically thin disk rotating around a nonrotating relativistic object are investigated. The disk is assumed to be isothermal in the vertical…
Relativistic Diskoseismology. I. Analytical Results for “Gravity Modes”
We generalize previous calculations to a fully relativistic treatment of adiabatic oscillations that are trapped in the inner regions of accretion disks by non-Newtonian gravitational effects of a…
Relativistic Diskoseismology. II. Analytical Results for c-modes
We first briefly review how we investigate the modes of oscillation trapped within the inner region of accretion disks by the strong-field gravitational properties of a black hole (or a compact,…
Basic Properties of Thin-Disk Oscillations
In this paper oscillations on geometrically thin disks are reviewed, focusing on two issues. One is the characteristics of disk oscillations. The other is possible excitation mechanisms of these…
