Abstract (from CDS):

We report on the detection of an ∼5900s quasi-periodic variation in the extensive photometry of TX Col spanning 12yr. We discuss five different models to explain this period. We favour a mechanism where the quasi-periodic variation results from the beating of the Keplerian frequency of the `blobs' orbiting in the outer accretion disc with the spin frequency and from modulated accretion of these `blobs' taking place in a shocked region near the disc/magnetosphere boundary.
