But is it that simple?
*The optical-infrared outburst showed a double maximum with separation »13 months.
*Only the second maximum is seen in the radio data.
*Even at 860GHz (0.35-mm) there is no evidence of the first maximum.
*OJ287 (apparently) was not in outburst in 1994 in ISO data, but the outburst is seen clearly at 2.2 microns.
*Why the differences?
