Scientific paper

We discuss the possibility of thermal flares in centers of AGNs and microquasars. We present preliminary results of an ongoing study trying to assess the feasibility of a hypothesis suggesting that certain flares observed in these sources originate in the very centers of the systems and not in the relativistic jets. Using a simple toy model we reproduce optical flares with lightcurves very similar to those observed in the sources. The model suits especially well those cases where only the latter peak of a double-peaked optical flare has a radio counterpart.
