Fractional Variability—A Tool to Study Blazar Variability

Fractional Variability—A Tool to Study Blazar Variability

Active Galactic Nuclei emit radiation over the whole electromagnetic spectrum up to TeV energies. Blazars are one subtype with their jets pointing towards the observer. One of their typical features is extreme variability on timescales, from minutes to years. The fractional variability is an often u...
