Observations of XTE J1550-564 during its 2000 Outburst
Jerome Rodriguez
We report on the complete set of RXTE spectral and temporal observations of the microquasar XTE J1550-564 during its 2000 outburst. We follow the evolution of a low frequency quasi periodic oscillation, and show that its behaviour is compatible with a hot point rotating in the accretion disk, as predicted by the Accretion Ejection Instability.
