Maximum and average value of the LT frequency. Left panel: Maximum of the frequency, ν_MAX, as a function of the angular momentum of the star. Middle panel: Frequency value averaged from r_ISCO to r_2 : 1 as a function of the star’s angular momentum. Right panel: Frequency averaged from r_ISCO to r_3 : 2 as a function of the star’s angular momentum. As in Figure 3, the red lines correspond to the LT metric, while the lines in shades of blue correspond to the HT metric and varying q. The shaded regions indicate the frequencies relevant to non-geodetic flows and cover the full range of allowable torus thicknesses.
