Scientific paper

It is now known that there are supermassive black holes at the centre of a galaxy, surrounded by an accretion disc. The black hole-jet-accretion disc model plays an important role in the explanation of the observational properties of active galactic nuclei. BL Lacertae objects form a subclass of blazars; they are monitored through electromagnetic wave bands. During the OJ-94 project, 3C 66A was observed as a comparison object of OJ287 and found to display a possible 65-day period in the V light curve. In this paper, we show that the instability of an accretion disc surrounding a massive central black hole (2.5×107Modot) may explain this period in 3C 66A.
