Description
Detection of twin peak quasi-periodic oscillations in power-density spectra of low-mass X-ray binaries can be used to constrain mass of the compact object. In this presentations we will apply the so-called cusp torus model to neutron star in 4U 1646-53 to determine the mass of the neutron star. We will also discuss the possibility to constrain the radius of the neutron star as well.
