Description
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are growing supermassive black holes found at the centers of massive galaxies. My research involves gathering data by simulating the light emitted by AGN, and then plotting the simulated light in the form of light curves.

Comments
This research is a part of the larger CASTOR research project. The gathered data will be transferred to Dr. Viraja Khatu for analysis at the end of the research term.
