We consider two forms of variability in black hole accretion disks: harmonically oscillating modes trapped near the disk inner edge, and noisy fluctuations throughout the entire disk. We apply the former to AGN disks, and the latter to the X-ray power spectra of GX339-4.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.

Method details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Findings are not separately available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Limitations are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
