The fractional RMS was estimated using the normalization of the best-fitting Lorentzian for the QPO, and the error bars represent 1σ confidence intervals from the MCMCs. As in BHXBs, the fraction RMS increases with energy, suggesting that the Comptonized component is what is being modulated on the QPO frequency.
