Precession in Extragalactic Parsec-Scale Accretion Disks

In this work, we study the feasibility of four physical mechanisms for driving jet/disk precession in the galaxies NGC 4258, NGC 1068, 3C 120, OJ 287 and Arp 102B. Given the many observational uncertainties that still exist in the parameters of those AGN, we find that it is difficult to discriminate unambiguously what mechanism is actually responsible for precession.
