The frequencies of kHz QPOs are widely interpreted as being indicative of the
values of characteristic frequencies related to orbital motion around neutron
stars, e.g., the radial epicyclic frequency. In regions directly exposed to the
radiation from the luminous neutron star these frequencies change with the
luminosity. Including radiative corrections will change the neutron star mass
value inferred from the QPO frequencies. Radiative forces may also be behind
the puzzling phenomenon of parallel tracks.
