| contents | We study the geodesic motion and epicyclic oscillations of massive test particles around a static, spherically symmetric black hole (BH) solution of the Einstein--Skyrme (ES) theory in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. The lapse function of this BH depends on the Skyrme coupling $η$, a charge-like parameter $Q$ inherited from the Skyrme term, and the cosmological constant $Λ<0$. We first map out the horizon structure and identify three regimes-non-extremal BH (NEBH), extremal BH (EBH), and naked BH (NBH)-showing that the NEBH $\to$ EBH $\to$ NBH transition is governed by $Q$ rather than $η$, which enters $f(r)$ only as a constant shift. We then derive the effective potential (EP), locate the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO), and compute the radiative efficiency, finding that $\mathcal{E}_{\rm ISCO}>1$ in AdS renders the standard Novikov-Thorne formula negative. The corrected radial epicyclic frequency $Ω_r$ reveals a distinctive AdS signature: $ν_r$ grows at large $r$ and overtakes the orbital frequency $ν_ϕ$, causing the periastron precession frequency $ν_p = ν_φ- ν_r$ to change sign-a feature absent in asymptotically flat geometries. Adopting the relativistic precession (RP) model for quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), we perform a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis using twin-peak QPO data from XTE~J1550-564, GRO~J1655-40, Sgr~A$^*$, and M82~X-1. The posteriors converge to $Q\approx 0.6$ across all sources, with orbital radii near $r\approx 4.2\,M$ and masses consistent with independent estimates, demonstrating that the ES-AdS BH accommodates the observed frequency pairs within physically motivated parameter ranges. |
