Scientific paper

Candidate energy sources in quasars and active galactic nuclei are evaluated. Data on the character of optical variability in a number of objects seem to eliminate models which assume a compact star cluster. The concept of a magnetoid, that is, a supermassive rotating magnetoplasmic body, is considered less vulnerable. It is suggested that the final choice between magnetoid and accreting black hole will be possible only after the details of these models have been throughly elaborated, and when new observational data become available.
