Chaotic Feature in the Light Curve of 3C 273

Astrophysics 2014-10-13 v2

Abstract

Some nonlinear dynamical techniques, including state-space reconstruction and correlation integral, are used to analyze the light curve of 3C 273. The result is compared with a chaotic model. The similarity between them suggests that there is a low-dimensional chaotic attractor in the light curve of 3C 273.
