英文摘要We investigate the correlation between the frequencies of twin kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) and neutron star (NS) spins in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), based on the data sets of 12 sources with simultaneously detected twin kHz QPOs and NS spins, and find that the histogram of the ratio between the frequency difference of twin kHz QPOs (Delta nu nu(2) - nu(1)) and NS spin nu(s) shows a non-uniform distribution with a gap at Delta nu/nu(s) similar to 0.65. We try to classify the 12 sources into two categories according to this gap: (I) slow rotators with similar to 311 Hz, XTE J1807.4-294, 4U 1915-05, IGR J17191-2821, 4U 1702-43, 4U 1728-34 and 4U 0614+09 follow a relation Delta nu/nu(s) > 0.65; (II) fast rotators with similar to 546 Hz, SAX J1808.4-3658, KS 1731-260, Aql X-1, 4U 1636-53, SAX J1750.8-2900 and 4U 1608-52 satisfy the relation Delta nu/nu(s) < 0.65. However, the linear fittings of Delta nu versus nu(s) relations of groups (I) and (II) are unsatisfactory to ensure any certain correlations. We suggest that this phenomenon may arise from the fact that most measured kHz QPOs and spins satisfy the conditions of 1.1 nu(s) <= nu(2) < 1300 Hz and Delta nu decreasing with nu(2). Apparently, the diversified distribution of Delta nu/nu(s) refutes the simple beat-frequency model, and the statistical correlations between the twin kHz QPOs and NS spins may arise from the magnetosphere-disc boundary environments, e.g. co-rotation radius and NS radius, that modulate the occurrences of X-ray signals. Furthermore, we also find a distribution of the ratio of nu(2) to nu(1) clusters around the value of similar to 3: 2, which shows no obvious correlation with NS spins.
