Primary Black Hole Spin in OJ 287 as Determined by the General Relativity Centenary Flare

Mauri Valtonen, +98 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a quasi-periodic quasar with roughly 12-year optical cycles displays prominent outbursts that are predictable in a binary black hole model, and the model predicted a major optical outburst in 2015 December.
Journal ArticleDOI

Primary black hole spin in OJ287 as determined by the General Relativity centenary flare

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the outburst did occur within the expected time range, peaking on 2015 December 5 at magnitude 12.9 in the optical R-band, based on Swift/XRT satellite measurements and optical polarization data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Authenticating the presence of a relativistic massive black hole binary in OJ 287 using its general relativity centenary flare: improved orbital parameters

Lankeswar Dey, +113 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that even the effects of certain hereditary contributions to GW emission are required to predict impact flare timings of OJ 287, and they developed an approach that incorporated this effect into the BBH model for OJ287.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stochastic Modeling of Multiwavelength Variability of the Classical BL Lac Object OJ 287 on Timescales Ranging from Decades to Hours

Arti Goyal, +121 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors acknowledge support from the Polish National Science Centre (NCN) through the grant 2012/04/A/ST9/04404 and 2017/27/B/ST 9/01855.
