On the Time Scales of Optical Variability of AGN and the Shape of Their Optical Emission Line Profiles
The mechanism of the optical variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is still very puzzling. It is now widely accepted that the optical variability of AGN is stochastic, producing red noise-like light curves. In case they were to be periodic or quasi-periodic, one should expect that the time sca...
