Recent Progress about kHz QPO and Spin in LMXB and their implications

This presentation discusses the recent progress in understanding the kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) and spin behavior in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXB). It explores the relations between spin and kHz QPOs, the implications of these findings, and the possible maximum spin values. The presentation also touches upon the QPO mechanisms and the absence of spin in Z-sources.
