Analyzing AGN optical Variability for different M,M’,L and

Constraining the fluctuation parameter (𝒃𝒐 ) from V band optical

photometric data

Constructing Monte Carlo Markov Chain

∝=∝% (1 + β(r, t)
β = b% (u1 )
Where 𝑏3 is the fluctuating parameter that can be constrained from data.

For More Massive Black hole i.e. 10^8, it would make more sense to look for sources which are

accreting at around 1% of Eddington Luminosity, since =1,and the viscous time scale comes

down drastically.
