In a series of papers it was discussed, on the basis of phenomenological arguments, whether the high frequency quasiperiodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) observed in the neutron-star and black-hole X-ray sources originate in the same physical mechanism. Recently it was suggested that a general trend seen in neutron star kHz QPOs instead excludes such a uniform origin. Using the example of the atoll source 4U 1636-53 we illustrate that this is not neccesarily true. (C) Versita Warsaw and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. All rights reserved.
