Mauri Valtonen’s long-range OJ287 forecast
*Mauri Valtonen’s model gives a long range light curve forecast:
–A series of outbursts starting in September 2007 will keep the quasar bright until 2010.
–As these fade the jet will realign more towards us, beaming more emission and making the base level of the light curve rise.
–New outbursts will start in Spring 2016.
–OJ287 will remain relatively bright until about 2030.
