How Can the Optical Variation Properties of Active Galactic Nuclei Be Unbiasedly Measured?
The variability of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is ubiquitous, but has not yet been understood. Measuring the optical variation properties of AGNs, such as the variation timescale and amplitude, and then correlating them with their fundamental physical parameters has long served as a critical way o...
