Dependence of the outburst amplitudes and periods on the wind strength A. Shaded regions mark observed amplitudes and timescales of the microquasar heartbeats. Different colors mark different values of the parameter, as indicated in the plot. Models were ran for ṁ between 0.04 and 0.1. In general, the lower the accretion rates, the shorter the outbursts, as long as the instability occurs.
