Scientific paper

There are three possible types of an orbital model which could explain the periodic flares detected in the X-ray light curve of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 6814: (i) interacting orbiter, (ii) non-interacting orbiting light, (iii) non-interacting orbiting screen. The simplest version of the 'orbiting light' has only two free parameters. It was quantitatively and meaningfully fitted to the observational data. Other versions of the orbital model cannot be fitted to the data because they are not sufficiently developed and they rely on too many free parameters for a meaningful fitting to be possible.
