Descripción
Discrete events with internally consistent properties are found in the
light curve of the active galaxy BL Lac, which are consistent with the
expected properties of stellar disruptions in standard loss-cone models
of quasar energy generation. The amplitude distribution of events
resembles the local mass distribution. It is argued that stochastic
analysis of such active galaxy light curves may be a useful probe of the
mass distributions in their centers.
