Analysis of Kepler Lightcurves Using Turbulent Jet Model
Abstract
From 2010-2013, Kepler monitored the optical emission from four active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with high resolution. We use the turbulent jet model to analyze the micro-variations seen in these Kepler AGN. The turbulent jet model assumes that when a shock wave passes though the turbulent jet of a Blazar, each turbulent cell encountered produces a pulse of emission whose size and shape depend on cell size, the local density enhancement, and the magnetic field strength. From this analysis we infer some of the important parameters of the turbulent flow of the jet.
