TL;DR
This paper investigates the Rossby wave instability as a model for high-frequency QPOs in microquasars, using ray-traced light curves and discussing how future X-ray observations could differentiate this from other models.
Contribution
It provides a detailed analysis of the Rossby wave instability model for QPOs and explores observational strategies with upcoming X-ray telescopes.
Findings
Ray-traced light curves support the Rossby wave instability model
Discussion of observational signatures for model differentiation
Potential of LOFT observations to distinguish QPO models
Abstract
We study the Rossby wave instability model of high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) of microquasars. We show ray-traced light curves of QPO within this model and discuss perspectives of distinguishing alternative QPO models with the future Large Observatory For X-ray Timing (LOFT) observations.
