20. M. Vietri and L. Stella, Astrophys. J. 503, 350 (1998), suggested that a magnetic instability is responsible for tilting circular orbits at the inner edge of a Keplerian disk, which then precess at the Lense-Thirring precession frequency
21. Astrophys. J.D. Marković and F. K. Lamb, 507, 316 (1998), studied the warping modes of Keplerian disks and found a family of weakly dumped high-frequency gravitomagnetic modes that are very localized
22. More recently, D. Lai, ibid. (to be published) astro-ph/9904110, studied magnetically driven warping of accretion disks that are threaded by the inclined dipolar field of the central object. Finally, in the context of QPOs around black holes, a number of authors have studied adiabatic disk modes, some of which occur at the Lense-Thirring precession frequency of the disk near the innermost circular Keplerian orbit

24. See L. Stella and M. Vietri, Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 17 (1999), for a discussion of an alternative model in which the higher-frequency kHz QPO occurs at the orbital frequency of an elliptical test-particle orbit and the frequency separation of the kHz QPOs is not the stellar spin frequency.
