Abstract

We have analysed Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) data of bright neutron stars in low mass X-ray binaries to study the evolution of spectral and temporal features. We notice a correlation between lowfrequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) and comptonized disk emission along the color-color track. The preliminary results show that low frequency QPOs are probably related to the dynamics in the inner disk.
