Multi-Frequency Blazar Micro-Variability as a Tool to Investigate Relativistic Jets

For the past 12 years we have been studying optical micro-variability of a sample of 15 Blazars. We summarize the results of this study and draw some basic conclusions about the characteristics of micro-variability. The intermittency, the stochastic nature, and the similar profile shapes seen in mic...
